One of Britain's most beloved authors, Mary Stewart leads her listeners on a journey of murder and deceit through the dusty roads of mid-century Greece in this tale that fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym are sure to love.

'Nothing ever happens to me...'

So begins Camilla Haven's letter home during her quiet holiday in Athens. But when a stranger begs her to drive a car to Delphi, swearing that it is a matter of life and death, Camilla impulsively takes the opportunity she's been offered. Before long she is caught up in a whirlwind of intrigue, deceit and murder as she spins along the dusty Greek roads in a race against time to solve a 14-year-old mystery.

'The longer I waited the less possible it seemed to walk out of the café and leave everything to settle itself without me, and the more insidiously did the other possibility begin to present itself. Dry-mouthed, I pushed it aside, but there it was, a challenge, a gift, a dare from the gods....'

If you haven’t read Mary Stewart you are missing some of the best mystery stories.
This enchanting story takes me out of myself to a beautiful time and place. I love everything she has written.

Mary Stewart mistress of mysteries

Yay! Mary Stewart writes about Greece like no other. I love this and “The Moon Spinners” and “This Rough Magic”, for similar reasons. For this book, Jasmine Blackborow was a terrific narrator, and this story was gripping to say the least. To the last, it wove it’s way through a tale that kept me guessing. I loved the artistic elements in this story particularly. I found Stewart’s setting descriptions so vivid and compelling. It was as if you were really there at Delphi. Quite a story, though a bit grim, with much intensity but still a good resolution in the end. Enjoy!

Wonderful Story!

Excellent writing as always by Mary Stewart. Very well read by Jasmine Blackborow. Giving a sense of being there and hearing the story as it unfolds. Well worth the purchase.

Performer misprinted some words but she had a lovely accent. Mary Stewart is a masterful writer who tells a gripping story with lovely descriptions of the environment.

Great writing

Mary Stewart is one of my favorite authors, and My Brother Michael is one of her best. Jasmine Blackborow is a perfect narrator, with great enunciation, steady volume, and narrative flow, with enough differences in characters’ voices to identify them without going overboard as some narrators do. She made the story come alive.

Best narrator ever

This is my favourite Mary Stewart novel but I found the narration lacking. However, I have to admit it would be difficult to do justice to this book - it's quite complex. There are several storylines going at once and several of the characters are on their own individual psychological/spiritual journey.
It's actually a book before its time in my opinion, especially in terms of women's liberation, considering it was written in the 1950s (I imagine it may have been quite shocking at the time it was published; a few things that just 'weren't done' back then, and, indeed, at least one thing that women still struggle with today - the finding of one's identity).
Overall its an extremely interesting book, but this narrator didn't seem able to deal with all the aspects; but at least she did justice to Stewart's beautiful prose. I have to admit I found it quite hard going in places, which I don't find when I read it, but perhaps it may improve on me next time I try listening

narration underwhelming

One of Mary Stewart's best. Narrator reads too slow and is overdramatic, but overall okay. I sped up the narration speed to 1.25x, which was much better.

Great book, too slow
