Publisher Description
One of Britain's most beloved authors, Mary Stewart leads her readers on a journey of murder and deceit through the dusty roads of mid-century Greece in this tale that fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym are sure to love.
'Nothing ever happens to me...' So begins Camilla Haven's letter home during her quiet holiday in Athens. But when a stranger begs her to drive a car to Delphi, swearing that it is a matter of life and death, Camilla impulsively takes the opportunity she's been offered. Before long she is caught up in a whirlwind of intrigue, deceit and murder as she spins along the dusty Greek roads in a race against time to solve a fourteen-year-old mystery.
The longer I waited the less possible it seemed to walk out of the café and leave everything to settle itself without me, and the more insidiously did the other possibility begin to present itself. Dry-mouthed, I pushed it aside, but there it was, a challenge, a gift, a dare from the gods . . .

Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
Of all the relationships Mary Stewart gave us, I’d say this one would probably have one of the highest chances of success in real life. (Not that any of her couples are really divorce material.) The hero and the heroine have much in common, personality and otherwise. The plot was okay, not the best and not the worst. I would bring this book to the beach or the pool, but buy the paperback for that.
