Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
These productions of Goddard's suspense-filled novels are equally well read by Paul Shelley (Take No Farewell) and Michael Kitchen (Painting the Darkness). Both readers skillfully portray ordinary middle-class British professional men who are caught in circumstances beyond their abilities to cope. Driven to take any risk to save their loved ones, they act out of impulse, not intelligence, often with unfortunate results. Take No Farewell centers around a cad, Geoffrey Staddon, who left Consuela, the love of his life, in an abusive marriage so that he could shine as an architect in proper Edwardian England. Years later when Consuela is charged with murder and her daughter appeals to him for help, he realizes that he can redeem himself at least in his own eyes and, in an unexpected twist, even in Consuela's. William Trenchard of Painting the Darkness is threatened when his wife's first love, believed dead, reappears to claim his inheritance and Mrs. Trenchard. Trenchard fights with all his heart, but, unfortunately, his skills are not equal to those of his enemy's. Goddard is known for his intricate plot twists and ability to keep the listener intensely involved to the last sentence. Shelley and Kitchen are fine readers, modulating their voices and accents to differentiate characters and adapting their pacing to reflect the mood of the scene. Both recordings are recommended for popular collections. Juleigh Muirhead Clark, John D. Rockefeller Jr. Lib., Colonial Williamsburg Fdn., VA

beware the title -- it is really "Debt of Dishonour"
31. Juli 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Debt of Dishonour was the first Robert Goddard book I ever read -- I was hooked and read all the US-published titles. I ordered "Take No Farewell" and anxiously awaited reading it! I only read the first few pages when I realized it was, in fact, "Debt of Dishonour" -- published in England under another title! Alas . . . I'll just have to wait for Mr. Goddard to write another wonderful story!

Another Great One from Goddard
2. November 2010
First , please be aware that this b ook has also been published
under the title, "Debt and Dishonour". I bought both books not
bothering to read the description under both before purchase so
now I have two of t he same book. Geoffrey Staddon, prominent
architect has been commissioned to build an estate for Victor
Caswell and his beautiful Brazilian bride, Consuelo. The estate
is called, Clouds Fromme and seemingly was absolutely breathtaking
in its beauty but dark clouds form to take away what was to be
much happiness for Victor and Consuelo. Geoffrey fell in love
with Consuelo. Some years later Geoffrey was married to another
and read in the newspaper where Consuelo had been charged with
the murder of her husband's neice and attempted murder of her
husband. You can imagine; Geoffrey has to get involved and help
Consuelo as he doesnt believe she is guilty. Goddard is probably
the fastest plot changer on earth. He literally keeps you guessing
until the last page. Most of his books you might as well not
plan on doing anything important as it will be awfully hard to
put this book down.

Format:Taschenbuch
Please recheck your sources. If you look at "Debt of Dishonor", you will notice that it is the same synopsis.
