'Escapism of the best kind' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While on a walking holiday through the beautiful, deserted hills of Crete, Nicola Ferris stumbles across a critically injured Englishman, guarded by a fierce Greek.

Nicola cannot abandon them and so sets off on a perilous search for their lost companion - all the while being pursued by someone who wants to make sure none of them leave the island . . .

Transport yourself to the idyllic hills of mid-century Crete in this tale of peril and intrigue, from the original queen of romantic suspense, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.

I love Mary Stewart’s writing style and her ability to draw you in with her characters from the start. I read this book for the first time in the 1970’s when I was in my 20’s and loved it. Having just re-read it now in 2024 I loved it a little less for the patronising and stereotypical genders roles - what today we would call sexism. However, taken in context of the times in which it was written, it was still a great read!
