A wonderful novel full of twists and turns. An epic read covering generations of family history. Moving from England to Asia and back again over eightA wonderful novel full of twists and turns. An epic read covering generations of family history. Moving from England to Asia and back again over eight decades, this is pure indulgence. I read this in one day, I couldn't put it down, a testament to the writer's talents.

This was a different sort of novel written in letter or report style to tell of events happening on the ground. We have a group of spies and civiliansThis was a different sort of novel written in letter or report style to tell of events happening on the ground. We have a group of spies and civilians (perhaps), who may be spies going off into Sudan together on a trip, with the probability of bandits and communists everywhere. They are all on some kind of spy mission for their perspective governments.
I found the novel slow at times and passages irrelevant at other times. I skimmed over some towards the end as I lost some interest in what was going to happen! The climax wasn't a climax at all as you're expecting it!
Overall 70% was interesting and kept me reading but the other 30% was too long or boring and unnecessary details.
For those who like spy stories perhaps this might be a good read for everyone else there are some good parts and some not so good, it depends on if you will persevere with it or not!...more

Books like this one are well written, and very entertaining. As this is. A murder outside a village town on the Cornish Coast in the night, during a wild stormy night on the coast, within a large home. The storm, a wild sea, thunder and lightening, these all provide a wonderful setting for a crime to take place. I'm not going to give any plot information away by saying anymore. You can imagine the scene yourselves. What comes after are theories, innuendos, assumptions and clues, can the authorities find their killer or will the local church vicar and doctor provide the answers? It is fun to read all the comings and goings and the MC's are fun, too. Certainly a recommended read, to everyone who enjoy some heart-warming mysteries, a cozy evening fire place sheltered from the storm outside....more
