LONG TIME COMING

A high-living Englishman adventuring through Europe at the start of WWII. The theft of some Picassos. Another Englishman trying to make restitution in the 1970s. And somebody, perhaps some government, determined to the point of murder not to let anything good happen. English writer Robert Goddard's latest suspense novel is entertaining and complicated—and if you're listening in bed at night, it's going to keep you awake far too late. But that's all right, as narrator David Rintoul is in fine form. In a voice that is both warm and crisp, he propels the plot from one mystery to another without ever letting the listener get lost. And he voices everyone from our young Brit hero to a disturbed American vet beautifully. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2010]
