fullDescription

A centuries old mystery is about to unravel…
When Tim Harding is sent by his employer to buy an antique ring at auction, little does he realize that he is about to restart a chain of events which began many years before. The ring was first lost in a sinking off the isles of Scilly in 1707. When centuries later it is rediscovered in 1999, once again its appearance coincides with a terrible tragedy.
But before it can be sold, the ring is stolen and looks set to disappear forever. Until a shocking murder draws attention to a sequence of events designed to conceal crucial facts about its origins. At the heart of the mystery is a young woman whom Harding is certain he recognizes, even though they have never met before. As he goes in search of her identity, his life begins to unravel around him. Somewhere, a perilous truth about the ring awaits him, coupled with a dreadful realization: those who uncover the truth are not allowed to live…

     Tim Harding, the hero of this smoothly plotted novel of suspense from British author Goddard (Play to the End
     ), makes an unlikely sleuth. The owner of a “middling garden maintenance and landscaping business” in Monaco, Harding agrees to travel to Penzance in west Cornwall to help Barney Tozer, his wealthy friend and client. Tozer wants Harding to purchase on his behalf an antique ring that will be in the estate sale of Tozer's late eccentric uncle. In Cornwall, Harding becomes involved with Hayley Winter, an enigmatic young housekeeper who resembles a reporter who drowned 10 years earlier while scuba diving with Tozer. After the ring is stolen and Hayley disappears, Harding's search—into Tozer's odd past, a family superstition and English history—is hampered because everyone lies or hides his or her past. Goddard's gentle pacing and even prose build to an absorbing finale.

     May 1, 2009
     If a man who makes his living delivering multiple twists inside narratives featuring surprisingly capable fish-out-of-water protagonists who uncover long-suppressed historical mysteries suddenly delivered a straightforward plot free of such gimmicks, would his fans be upset? The answer to that facetious question wont be revealed in Goddards nineteenth novel, but loyalists should find Name to a Face a satisfying exploration of the authors proven formula. Tim Harding, gardener to the rich in and around Monaco, heads to Cornwall as a favor to a shady tax-exile client who owns a piece of his business and happens to be married to his lover. All Harding must do is buy an heirloom ring at the estate sale of his clients brother. It should be a quick jaunt, but alas, no one can be trusted, and things are not as they seem; soon Harding is entangled in a possible murder mystery involving an eighteenth-century shipwreck and a fourteenth-century legend for which verifiable evidence might exist. Its comfort food, sure, but the serviceable characters and competent dialogue go down easy, especially when Goddard spices it all up with compelling historical tidbits.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
