About this listen

On assignment in Vienna, photographer Ian Jarrett falls suddenly and desperately in love with a woman he meets by pure chance, Marian Esguard. Back in England, he separates from his wife and goes to meet Marian at an agreed rendezvous, only to hear her tell him on the telephone that she will not, after all, be coming. Then she vanishes from his life as mysteriously as she entered it.

Who and where is the woman he met and fell in love with in Vienna?

What a duo!

There are some combinations of author/narrator which are just perfect. This is one of them. So much emotion expressed through the writing and telling.

Brilliant read of a great story

I always enjoy Michael Kitchen’s understated style. He is very easy to listen to. This was also a gripping story with lots of plot twists. I thoroughly recommend it.

The stunning performance by Michael Kitchen

Michael Kitchen is quite the best narrator there is for Goddard or Dibden. I'm sure he wouid make the telephone directory fascinating.

Not what I expected

Well, this is the second Robert Goddard novel I've listened to now, read by the excellent Michael Kitchen. Goddard obviously has an interest in the spiritual world, as is evident in the two books I've listened to. I have wondered sometimes if Michael Kitchen felt just a little embarrassed when reading certain lines (I don't think dialogue is Goddard's strength), however, as an actor he has the ability to transport the listener into a make-believe world. This particular make-believe world sometimes verges on the Mills and Boon but is entertaining nonetheless simply listening to the narrator tell the story.

Excellent reading of a well crafted story

One of the best Audible books I have heard. A sensitive reading of a story that maintains a focus on the photographic core.

A magnificent read, pure genius

This book kicks off immediately with action and suspense. There are a lot of twists of course leaving the best till last. I will never tire of listening to a Robert Goddard books. Narrated brilliant
ly, and listened to in one sitting.

Too long

It was interesting for half the time and then seemed laboriously dragged out and I lost interest uncaring what happened. Very disappointing as I usually enjoy his books.
