Summary
Another fast-paced and warm-hearted thriller from award-winning writer, and former MP, Alan Johnson.
A government minister in the Foreign Office has vanished into thin air.
On holiday in Crete, Lord Bellingham had been solo trekking in the White Mountains when he mysteriously disappeared. After a vast search and rescue operation, the local police have no leads, save for a mobile phone discarded on a cliff edge.
Assistant Commissioner Louise Mangan of the Met Police is sent to assist in the investigation but soon discovers that there are more layers to this case than the local police realise.
Lady Bellingham is less than forthcoming, the family nanny is hiding something and a scandal is brewing back in London that could destroy the minister's reputation for good.
Under pressure from the powers that be, can Louise find the missing minister, or will she discover something much more sinister at play?

Plus ça change ...
An excellent mix of heroes, villains and anti-heroes in this deftly-plotted thriller from autobiographer extraordinaire Alan Johnson. Great summer listening!

Enjoyable listen
Wasn’t sure what to expect but it is an entertaining, if lightweight, story, very well narrated

Enjoyable yarn
Very light weight quite predictable but enjoyable nonetheless. Crimes convoluted and intricately woven but romance a bit women’s magazine

Much to like……
…..good characterisation and pace. Like a lot of mysteries, there were a lot of characters to keep in one’s head but it wasn’t difficult to follow. There were two separate stories really, very tenuously linked at the very end, but for much of the book it was impossible to see any connection between them. There was a lot that was easy to predict. It was, however, a good tale that on the whole I enjoyed.
The narration was a little strange, I felt: while the accents and characterisation were really good, when he was reading the events of the story he over-enunciated; it was as though he was reading it to very young children. I did find this off-putting.

Mediocre
Pleasant but with no real unexpected or thrilling aspects to the plot . Easy listening but easy to put down

Plonky
Unlike the first book this one was very plonkily written and although the story was ok if trying to be too tricky and the enjoyment was spoilt by the writing. It was as he had taken time to craft the first book and rushed out the second. It felt like it was written by a different person
