The Moonspinners

3.86 AVERAGE


Nicola is on holiday in Greece. She is headed to a small out of the way village not yet on the tourist radar to meet her cousin when she stumbles across two men in a shepherd's hut, one with a gunshot wound. They warn her to not get involved but Nicola is too concerned about their survival and the justice of the situation that she fully immerses herself in the situation, putting her very own life at risk.

Adult.

While the descriptions of the scenery were a little dry, the story was fun! I enjoyed the movie as a kid and now I was able to enjoy the book as an adult.

Light and entertaining, if dated.

Mary Stewart’s writing is so lovely and she’s so masterful at getting across exactly what she wants to. I especially love how she lets dialogue shape her characters and their relationships so perfectly. So much fun banter that had me smiling while I was reading!

This was a fun mystery with a plucky, likeable heroine and beautiful scenery. What more could you want?
