Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.co.uk

Set in Glastonbury, Goddard's deliciously convoluted mystery Dying to Tell introduces us to Lance Bradley, leading an uneventful, indolent life in Somerset until he receives a plea for help from the sister of an old friend. The friend, Rupert Alder, has terminated the allowances to his feckless siblings, and Bradley agrees to track Rupert down to find the reason for his actions. But in London, Bradley finds that Alder has disappeared, and his employers (a prestigious shipping company) believe him to be the perpetrator of a major fraud. An American by the name of Townley has, it seems, hired a private eye to find Rupert, only to be neutralised by powerful interests. And there's the Japanese businessman who claims Rupert has stolen an important document... As Bradley gets closer to the centre of an arcane mystery, he finds that the year 1963 (in which Bradley was born) holds the key to a series of bizarre puzzles.

This is the kind of finely-tuned mystery that Goddard dispatches with total assurance: elegantly crafted, with a quirkily characterised anti-hero in the mystified Lance Bradley. Other novelists noted for their storytelling abilities may have fallen from public favour, but Robert Goddard remains one of the soundest and most compelling novelists the UK has produced--perhaps because all his abilities have gone into producing narratives of total authority and persuasiveness, rather than the creation of any public persona. We don't know who Goddard is, and we don't care: his name on a book is an ironclad guarantee of something the reader will find very hard to put down. --Barry Forshaw --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



Product Description

Lance Bradley, idling his life away in the little Somerset town of Glastonbury, suddenly receives a call for help from the eccentric sister of his old friend Rupert Alder. Rupe appears to have vanished without trace. Reluctantly, Lance goes to London, to discover that Rupe’s employers want him tried for fraud. A Japanese businessman claims he has stolen a document of huge importance. And a private detective is demanding money for trying to trace, on Rupe’s behalf, an American called Townley, who was involved in a mysterious death at Wilderness Farm, near Glastonbury, back in 1963.

No sooner has Lance decided that whatever Rupe was up to is too risky to get involved in than he finds that he already is involved, and the only way out is to get in deeper still. Where is Rupe? What is the document he has stolen? Who is Townley? And what happened at Wilderness Farm nearly thirty years before that holds the key to a secret more amazing than Lance Bradley could ever have imagined?

Dying to Tell is another classic Goddard mystery: intricate, fascinating and deeply satisfying to the very last page. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Dying to Tell (Paperback)
Perhaps not in the class of Goddard's "Past Caring" or "In Pale Battalions" but still an enjoyable read. Anything that this author writes is worth reading!

Par D. Kaplan "sleuth029" (New York, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dying To Tell (Hardcover)
This is the story of Lance Bradley, a young British man who is asked to look for Rupe, his childhood friend, who has gone missing for about three months. Lance, a bit of a wastrel with little or no direction in his life, undertakes this search which takes him to three continents in the course of a couple of weeks. There doesn't seem to be any reason why Rupe would just disappear although Goddard introduces a number of possibilities.

I have long been a great fan of Robert Goddard but this book just didn't do it for me. By the end, I didn't care what had happened to Rupe or even why he was nowhere to be found. I somehow got the impression that Goddard felt the same way.

There are hordes of good guys, villians and those who fall somewhere in the middle. The descriptions of all the cities Lance visits during his whirlwind two-week round the world trip was rather interesting though.

What was lacking from this book was what I always refer to as the "whiplash" effect that I have come to expect from a Goddard book. Just when you are complacent and think you have all the players analyzed, he throws you a curveball. Alas, mighty Goddard struck out.

This review is from: Dying To Tell (Hardcover)
I have been reading Robert Goddards books for years and eagerly await his next book out, I savour all his books and find he is a master story teller. He always has a very normal person as his key character. His latest book 'dying to tell' has not let me down and I congratulate him again for a great read..please continue writing Robert.
