Praise

“Goddard travels steadily, cleverly, inexorably from light to darkness. It’s the storyteller as magician: we only see what he wants us to see, when he wants us to see it. . . . [the book] had me utterly spellbound . . . cracking good entertainment.” —Washington Post, on Into the Blue

“A master of the sly double- and triple-cross. Goddard’s hairpin plot turns contrast nicely with his smooth and understated prose.” —Seattle Times, on Into the Blue

“Goddard is a master of the clever twist.” —Sunday Telegraph, on Dying to Tell

“Robert Goddard has, for decades, staked an irrefutable claim to the English generational mystery genre with brilliantly woven, complex plots anchored in place and spread over time.” —Times (London), on Fault Line

“Engrossing storytelling of a very high order.” —Observer (London), on Sea Change

“The plotting in this intelligent thriller is exceptionally good. Goddard’s greatest strength is his ability to operate like a literary conjurer: we know he will give us a twist or surprise in almost every chapter, but time and again he hits us with it from an unexpected direction.” —Spectator, on Name to a Face

“An absorbing read from a truly creative storyteller.” —Guardian, on Name to a Face

“A spellbinding storyteller.” —Sunday Independent, on Into the Blue

“When it comes to duplicity and intrigue, Goddard is second to none. He is a master of manipulation . . . a hypnotic, unputdownable thriller.” —Daily Mail, on Long Time Coming

“As always, Goddard delivers a thoughtful and fast-moving tale with well-drawn characters.” —Independent (Ireland), on Blood Count
