Summary

Some legends never die…

Irish newsreader Isolde Malone has a face many would recognise; in fact, she can’t walk through the streets of Dublin without bumping into a hoard of fans, all of whom want their picture taken with the darling of broadcast journalism. She’s living a dream life and has never been happier…

Until the night everything changes.

Forced to take a sabbatical from her glittering career, Isolde needs a haven from ordinary life and the support of her only remaining family. So, when a gilt-edged invitation to attend one of her brother’s fundraising events drops through the post, it seems like the perfect opportunity. There’s just one problem…

She must cross the sea to Cornwall.

But, what promised to be the perfect escape soon turns into a nightmare when a body washes up at the foot of the legendary castle at Tintagel, and Isolde soon realises that the ghosts in that part of the world can be just as deadly as the ones she’s left behind in Ireland.

Trapped in a windswept country house hotel for the weekend, surrounded by suspects, Isolde hardly knows who to trust, but she knows it isn’t Tristan Williams—no matter what the old legend might say…

New characters beautifully drawn

As a lover of L J Ross detective series I enjoyed this new set of characters and good story.

A bit more romantic than my usual murder mystery listen but a good story all the same. And the narrator brought the characters to life - which in my opinion is very important in the enjoyment of an audio book.

Good story line but predictable

Nice story but not as intriguing as others in the series. Book is quite short so doesn’t feel value for money. I enjoyed the narration, very good performance.

Easy listen but far fetched

As above. Well read, some good characters but far fetched. Easy listening. Would recommend for an easy listen.

Disappointed.

I have enjoyed the previous books in this series however I found this one very disappointing. I thought the story was weak and very predictable. Sorry LJ Ross but I hope future books in the series get back to your excellent usual quality.

New direction

Might be a new pace for one of my favourite writers but I enjoyed it. Once I started I just couldn’t stop. More twists than a roller coaster and it did keep me guessing. The main plot one would figure out but the complex story was enthralling.
I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Pleasant but thrilling story

The plot was interesting. It’s a good story but very different from the stories L J Ross I’m used to. I shall listen to the next one and I’m sure enjoy it as much as this one.

Nice beginning, predictable story

Liked the performance of the narrator and the beginning of the story. Second half is quite predictable. It’s a nice easy-listen
