Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Past Caring

Why should distinguished Edwardian Cabinet minister Edwin Strafford resign at the height of his parliamentary career? Why does the woman he loves so suddenly and coldly reject him?

Appraise Based On Books Past Caring
Read long ago, loved it, and lost track of the name of the author and title of the book. Many times I tried to figure out who wrote it using google searches. Success May 1 2018. Delighted to discover that there are lots and lots of novels that Goddard has written since! Heres hoping they will prove to be as good.

Read this one a long time ago and just remembered it. I loved this one. I went on to read other Robert Goddard books. They're kind of all the same in the way all Hitchcock movies are the same, which is to to say that they're all the same, and why shouldn't they be? They're great and fun. Goddard writes about men with pasts that come back to haunt them. I can't say I remember the story of this one well other than some scenes on the island of Madeira, layers of the past being revealed one by

I am past caring about Past Caring.This book is painfully boring unless you're seriously interested in dusty old British politics. I read the first 85 pages and realized I was forcing myself to continue because I so enjoyed In Pale Batallions. I'll certainly try more by this author, but am abandoning this one.

I have mixed feelings about this book.One the positive side, I enjoyed the premise. In the modern day, an ex-academic, called Martin, who has fallen on hard times, is hired to investigate a political mystery from the early 20th century. A politician, Edwin Strafford, who seemed to be on a stellar course for political success, had suddenly resigned and disappeared from the political world and from England. Martin is given a memoir, written by Strafford, which gives intriguing glimpses as to what

Not a patch on In Pale Battalions, the only other book by Goddard I have read. An unlikeable narrator, a very complex plot, a femme fatale who is ludicrously brilliant and beautiful and sexy and bad news for our narrator. It was Goddards first book and has some good things in it in terms of the plot, but some of the characters are more than a little unbelievable. Oh, and theres an embarrassingly bad sex scene too.Mildly entertaining as holiday reading.

I've just read this book for the second time and I have to single it out for a special recommendation. It is absolutely brilliant. Evocative of places I love - Madeira and Devon. Craftily hinged around historical detail. Amazingly cleverly plotted and so gripping I didn't want to go out!Quite the best book I've rerad in years. I'd love to hear if anyone else shares my enthusiasm for it.

good historical thriller.Why should distinguished Edwardian Cabinet minister Edwin Strafford resign at the height of his parliamentary career? Why does the woman he loves so suddenly and coldly reject him? Why, sixty-seven years later, should people go to such lengths - even as far as murder - to prevent the truth from being revealed
