Summary
The year is 1931. The new and luxurious transatlantic liner Empress of Britain is on her eastward passage. Among the first-class passengers on board are two English confidence tricksters, making a discreet exit from a little awkwardness they have left behind them in the United States. A chance meeting on deck brings them a tempting new target in the shape of Miss Charnwood and her niece, the beautiful Diana, only child of the immensely wealthy Fabian Charnwood.

Wonderfully authentic mystery and murder
The story is gripping, real, exciting and vivid. Robert Goddard is simply masterful.
Bill Walis narration is absolutely perfect for the story. A very talented performance from both.

One of Goddard's best!
Although a Goddard fan, surprisingly hadn't got around to reading the hardcopy of Closed Circle that's sat on my bookshelf for some considerable time, so came to this Audible recording with no prior knowledge of the thoroughly absorbing mystery I was about to hear.
Two con-artists / fortune hunters, one fatefully, become unwittingly caught up in a deadly circle of a deceit, double-dealings. At the stories heart, a conspiracy theory, a fanciful yet plausible notion as to what caused The Great War / World War One to start when it did. And, the epilogue brings the circle to a very satisfactory conclusion.
Narration by Bill Wallis was faultless, his tone perfectly portraying the 1930's.

Goddard and Wallis, a class double act.
Goddard and Wallis, a classy double act! Goddard's story telling flows from the page, truly a wordsmith of note, and Bill Wallis's
rich melodious voice compliments and enhances the book even more.

Quality
Excellent story, though for me it felt far too drawn out and containing too many twists and turns. But then it was written at a time where patience was still a virtue and TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and the ever shortening attention span of today, didn’t exist. As for narration, it was excellent: articulate and modulated, never boring, not monotone. Having said that, as with other audiobooks, I wish the people who commission the voice actors would take into account the age of the narrator and engage accordingly. This is not a sign of age discrimination, only a desire for reality being injected in story telling.

We enjoyed it!
Long and somewhat complicated in parts, but we really enjoyed it and lasted the course. Well written, it sustained our interest and carried a reasonable explanation at the end. Thank you.

Marvellous
I can never decide which of Mr Goddard books I enjoy the most ! Perhaps it is this one . Clever and beautifully researched, I simply couldn’t love his novels any more. I would award it ten stars!
