About this listen

Another fast-paced and warm-hearted thriller from award-winning writer, and former MP, Alan Johnson.

A government minister in the Foreign Office has vanished into thin air.

On holiday in Crete, Lord Bellingham had been solo trekking in the White Mountains when he mysteriously disappeared. After a vast search and rescue operation, the local police have no leads, save for a mobile phone discarded on a cliff edge.

Assistant Commissioner Louise Mangan of the Met Police is sent to assist in the investigation but soon discovers that there are more layers to this case than the local police realise.

Lady Bellingham is less than forthcoming, the family nanny is hiding something and a scandal is brewing back in London that could destroy the minister's reputation for good.

Under pressure from the powers that be, can Louise find the missing minister, or will she discover something much more sinister at play?

I like Alan Johnson’s books, he has an easy style of writing. Nothing is forced, the character’s are believable, the plot goes forward at a good pace. This one has the added extra of being partly based in Cyprus .

An excellent mix of heroes, villains and anti-heroes in this deftly-plotted thriller from autobiographer extraordinaire Alan Johnson. Great summer listening!

…..good characterisation and pace. Like a lot of mysteries, there were a lot of characters to keep in one’s head but it wasn’t difficult to follow. There were two separate stories really, very tenuously linked at the very end, but for much of the book it was impossible to see any connection between them. There was a lot that was easy to predict. It was, however, a good tale that on the whole I enjoyed.
The narration was a little strange, I felt: while the accents and characterisation were really good, when he was reading the events of the story he over-enunciated; it was as though he was reading it to very young children. I did find this off-putting.

Much to like……
