The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart

3.0

3.5 stars

I ran out of reading material while on holiday so dragged this one out of a dusty old box. It's well written (language) and fairly entertaining, but I struggled with some of the decisions the main character made. They just seemed overly brave/stupid to me. Also I thought a great plot twist would have been if it turned out she was actually helping out the baddies, because she seemed to take the story she was told at face-value even after being held at knife point once she realised that the injured party was British and quite good looking....

The descriptions of the area (Crete) are rather nice and the story stirred some nostalgic Nancy Drew and "Island of Adventure" type memories.
