From Library Journal

Goddard's newest novel shows that even a middle-aged, frumpy man can become a hero. When Heather Mallender, English schoolteacher, disappears while sightseeing in Greece with Harry Barnett, Barnett must discover whether she disappeared voluntarily or was a victim of malice. In Hitchcockian tradition, the hero finds himself trapped in a web of intrigue that threatens not only his reputation, but also his life. Barnett's quest leads him from Greece to England and back, followed everywhere he goes, encountering suspicion and resistance at every turn. Everyone, it seems, has things to hide. Goddard's ( Painting the Darkness , LJ 9/1/89) elegant and gothic portrait of blackmail, deception, and death is hampered by its meandering pace and intricacy. Still, the novel is ultimately successful.

From AudioFile

How often does a listening experience all come together? The occasion of a mystery, travelogue, and romance is rare. But here we have Harry Barnett living as a caretaker in Rhodes at the villa of a friend when a young woman, a guest at the villa, disappears off a mountain. Then there is the reading by Paul Shelley, which accentuates all the pieces that tie this well-written work together. Shelley's pronunciation of Greek makes one want to learn the language. Then he criss-crosses the Continent, speaking all the dialects along the way. It's a long piece, but stimulating enough to make the listener continue with the story. J.P.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Well written, compelling story., Avril 1 2002
Par Emmanuel Lambert (Deinze, Belgium) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Into the Blue (TV Tie-in Edition) (Paperback)
The book is well written and reads fluently. The characters are very well and lively described. The story is realistic.
I have read lots of John Grisham books, but this one is more complex and takes more effort to read.
One minor point : 500 pages is a bit too much for me... I prefer stories of about 250-300 pages. But, certainly...I would buy this book again.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Intricate Tale, Déc 4 2001
Par sweetmolly (RICHMOND, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Into the Blue (TV Tie-in Edition) (Paperback)
It is a credit to Robert Goddard's writerly abilities that he manages to lead and keep our interest alive in this complex story. We travel from Greece to the British Isles (a map of the UK would be a nice adjunct). The cast of characters in another author's hands would be cumbersome. A tribute to Goddard that even the minor characters are crisply delineated, and not once was I confused as to who was who.

Harry Bennett, a professional failure, has to be one of the more depressing heroes of all time. He has no confidence, few social skills, and not one yearning desire to better himself. He glumly concludes he is not worthy of success. His stylistic sense is so poor; his rumpled appearance causes comment in even an average restaurant. The late Carroll O'Connor could play the part to perfection. On Harry's watch, the young and fragile Heather Mallender disappears while they are hiking up sinister Profitis Ilias Mountain in the Greek Isles. Predictably, Harry has petered out slightly below the summit and elects to wait for Heather to complete the climb. And that is the last he sees of Heather.

The rest of the novel recounts Harry's painstaking search for Heather. Harry is nothing if not persistent, and even his wrong turns forward his search. Nothing is quite as it seems, even Harry. Mr. Goddard has given us a story laced with irony. As in a previous Goddard novel "Caught in the Light," I had a good idea "who" was the main villain; I just had no idea "why." This is a finely crafted novel, and the characterizations are delightful. A very satisfying read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Goddard's the Greatest!, Aoû 31 2001
Par Dolphin (United Kingdom) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Into the Blue (TV Tie-in Edition) (Paperback)
I've read hundreds of books and this has to be one of the best I've ever read. You follow the tale of loser Harry trying to find his friend who went missing on Rhodes,from the Greek island and around the counties of England. Harry has only done one heroic act in his life and without giving away too much this becomes a sad irony as the story concludes. This book is impossible to put down!
