About this listen

When Harry Barnett is informed that his son is in hospital in a diabetic coma, he is certain that there must be some mistake, since he does not have a son. But he soon discovers that he does. David Venning was a brilliant mathematician, and his tragic condition is taken to be the result of an accident or a suicide attempt. But his notebooks are missing, and two other fellow employees have died in suspicious circumstances. Coincidence? Or is David the victim of attempted murder?

Second in this series and it hasn’t let me down. Beautiful writing, interesting and intelligent descriptions, clever plotting, unusual situations, refreshing, uplifting, extremely satisfying read.

Harry - what a compelling character

A disappointing follow-up to Into the Blue. Robert Goddard's writing style was up to scratch, but the plot just wasn't believable. I was keen to see how Harry Barnett developed after his experiences in the first book, but I felt this was held back by the insertion of the weird "higher dimensions" theme.

Harry Barnett

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A man who finds that he has a son, who is now in a coma , becomes a caring father. He admitted to the mother of the young man that he would probably not stood by her if she had told him of his birth. Now he is like a man on a mission , trying to find out the truth about him.
The son had tried to find his father. When he did, he saw a drunkard, bar fly, and decided not to bother with him.
This absentee father, however, travelled far, and wide to unravel the plot behind his sons’s coma. Where the money came from to enable this is not known. The man was in casual work only, and seemed to drink most of what he earned . He was very aggressive toward the stepfather, who had paid all the hospital bills, and more so when he learned that his ‘son’s’ mother had, under medical advice turned off the machines that were keeping the son alive, without telling him. Confused, you will be, and more so when you get to the intrigue , and scientific machinations. Sorry folks. It’s horses for courses , this one was not for me.

A Far Fetched,Overlong, Tale

In truth I hadn’t wanted to start the “Harry Barnett” books as the idea of a series sharing the same character has never appealed to me. I’ve always felt that standalone novels delivered more rounded experiences and left me more satisfied.
Robert Goddard however has such an incredible gift for character development that this was a joy!! It takes the background character from “into the blue” and centralises him in another self sufficient tale whilst brilliantly expanding upon the past for those that know about it.
Easy to get into, hard to put down.. as always!!!
My favourite author without doubt

Continued excellence

Paul Shelley brought this story to life. He was definitely Harry! At first I wasn’t really interested in the story but Shelley drew me in to enjoy listening as I was driving.
