Goddard has almost never let me down. As it happens, I found this one hard to get into for the first few chapters, but before long I was hooked and on the edge of my seat as I was drawn into the series of connecting mysteries that unfolded. This novel had more twists and turns than...a twisty-turny thing. As Blackadder might say. And the little begger led me straight up the garden path so that it turned out that I had completely the wrong end of the stick and nothing was as he'd led me to believe. Hugely enjoyable.
