About this listen

The pioneer of romantic suspense, Mary Stewart leads her listeners on an unforgettable ride across the Isle of Skye in this tale perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.

Following a heartbreaking divorce, Gianetta retreats to the Isle of Skye hoping to find tranquillity in the island's savage beauty. But shortly before her arrival a girl's body is found on the craggy slopes of the looming Blue Mountain, and with the murderer still on the loose, there's nothing to stop him from setting his sights on Gianetta next....

One arrogant wing of rock thrust itself across the sun, flinging a diagonal shadow over the bay. My eye was drawn to the great lonely bulk of the mountain in the east, stooping over the valley like a hawk. Blaven. The Blue Mountain.

Excellent narrator! Despite the obviously dated storyline and characterisation I found this a throughly enjoyable listen. Possibly because I read the books when young but also because the author skilfully creates and builds up tension and atmosphere and describes the scenery so well. It’s gentle and old fashioned but Mary Stewart could write and tell a good yarn.

A dark tale of suspense with all the right elements of intrigue, drama and romance, set against a beautifully portrayed backdrop of Skye. Excellently narrated.

Classic Mary Stewart

Happy to hear such a strong voice. MaryStewart's other books are read by childish voices.

Copyright 1956??? This book is nearly as old as I am, but this is as fresh and lively a thriller as any newly-minted work.
Mary Stewart's descriptions of the land around the Cuillin, in the spring of the 1953 Coronation, are breath-takingly beautiful, and her gutsy heroine is the equal of any modern character.
Lucy Paterson's narration was wonderful and vivid, and the accents good (apart from Auld Lang Zyne, instead of the soft Scottish Syne, but that is one of my personal bugbears and does not detract from the story).
Another enthralling, excellent Audible production.

Beautiful!
