About this listen

One of Britain's most beloved authors, Mary Stewart leads her listeners 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 14-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....'

A very good story. Jasmine Blackborow reads well. The story kept me listening but the modern accents don't seem to match with Mary Stewart's books.

Mary Stewart.

My only critic is that a bit too much poetry esq dramatically read. I read these books many many years ago and when I went to Delphi also many years ago I remembered the area just as is written. Wonderful

A lovely read as I remember

A beautiful narration which brings this extraordinary tale to life. You can feel the heat, smell the verbena and hear the echoes of history, as the story unfolds. Mary Stewart was a master story teller, and Jasmine has done a marvelous job with her rendition.

Beautiful
