Publisher Description

The year is 1931. The new and luxurious transatlantic liner Empress of Britain is on her eastward passage. Among the first-class passengers on board are two English confidence tricksters, making a discreet exit from a little awkwardness they have left behind them in the United States. A chance meeting on deck brings them a tempting new target in the shape of Miss Charnwood and her niece, the beautiful Diana, only child of the immensely wealthy Fabian Charnwood.

    " A really gripping read - and it didn't end as I thought it might. "

    " Just picked this up and it was a very easy and forgettable read. Not a bad mystery if you just want a little escapism in your life. "

    " His usual convoluted plot. This one I found a tad tedious around the middle. Glad when I finished it. "

    " So-so period mystery set in the early 1930s. Too much conspiracy theory stuff for me. "

    " Although good plot twists, the writing style is pedestrian, so the final reveal is not too gripping "

    " Some of Robert Goddard's books are among my all time favourites, others are real turkeys and it's impossible to tell the difference without investing a deal of time in the thing. This is one of the turkeys, imho. In his defence, they are all different. He's not a "theme" author. "

    " This book is not a favorite Robert Goddard of mine. I thought about a third of it could easily be cut. The characters were unattractive and although Mr. Goddard is a wonderful plotter, I was very tired of the whole thing by the end. "

    " Closed Circle has a nice twisty plot, though none of the reveals are that unexpected. The dialogue is pretty over the top (lots of villains gloating over their evil plots while our hero is held at gunpoint), but it's pretty enjoyable for that same reason. A good, fast-paced thriller. "
