Used Book – *Closed Circle*, Robert Goddard

1911. Geoffrey Staddon, a young and talented architect, has just designed a magnificent residence, Clouds Frome. While working on this project, he fell madly in love with his client's wife, Consuela Caswell. As the lovers planned to live together, Geoffrey ultimately abandoned the young woman to her sad fate, preferring to dedicate himself fully to his professional ambitions. 1923. Geoffrey learns from a newspaper article that Consuela Caswell is accused of murder and faces the death penalty. Deeply disturbed by this news, which reawakens many ghosts and revives his feeling of guilt, he decides to return to Clouds Frome. He does not yet know that what he will discover there will turn his life upside down. Falling into every trap set by characters more Machiavellian than the last, you won't be able to put this book down once you've opened it. Yves Quitté, France Dimanche.
