 Sea Change - Robert Goddard
Newest Review: ... run trying to unravel the truth, clear his name and find the lady. So what can I tell you about the plot of Sea Change ... more  ... without giving the game away? Quite a lot actually, because, like all his books, it twists and turns like a ghost train. Set in 1721, with the South Sea Bubble scandal as it's backdrop, we follow the fortunes of mapmaker William Spandrel who has found himself in the precincts of the Fleet (a debtor's prison) after his creditors called in their loans before his labour of love - a new map of London - could be completed. But then one of those creditors: Sir Theodore Janssen, a director of the South Sea Company,...more |

Sea Change - Robert Goddard: Bubble Rap (505 words)

Rating:
Robert Goddard is one of the best thriller writers around. He was the first winner of the W.H.Smith Thumping Good Read Award (for "Into The Blue" in 1990) and he has been described as "the master of the triple double-cross" and "the prince of plotters" His paperbacks carry the legend: "The most compelling storyteller of them all".

His novels usually follow a set pattern: Middle-aged bloke going through a mid-life crisis meets and falls for a mysterious woman who then disappears. Somehow he ends up suspected of ...

A Change for the worse (176 words)

Robert Goddard has written some of the most compulsively readable thrillers I have come across in recent years. He invariably constructs complex plots, drawing the reader in as the novel gathers pace. Finally, the strands are unravelled in what is a satisfying, frequently moving conclusion. Most readers will be full of admiration for Goddard's skill and will look forward to his next book. Unfortunately, I believe those of us who have looked forward to Sea Change will have been pretty disappointed. Goddard has written of a laborious chase across 18th century Europe, with a lacklustre group of individuals in search of a ledger which will reveal the secrets of the ... Read the complete review

An absorbing mystery 
Keeps you 'til the end Honestly written without embellishment Quite lengthy so not for the faint hearted compelling, entralling, page turner, superbly written, superb plot none for me Fascinating characters, good plot None Chilli is one cool cat, interesting structure Narrative sucks, no other compelling characters Great descriptions, Thrilling Plot, intersting method of delivery (a story within a story) Follows only one character so there is a narrow view of events in the book.Late Night Shopping - Carmen Reid
very good chick lit book took me a while to warm to lead character
