Caught in the Light

Rating:
Summary: Not his best
Review: I found it hard to sympathize with the stupidity of the main character here.
Good book in parts, but a touch of the "Mills and Boone" in many places.
I found the author's "Past Caring" much more to my liking.

Review: I picked up this book by chance in Australia last April and it made the 18 hour flight back to the States seem like a mere blink. I can't remember the last time a work of fiction so completely surprised me. I've been devouring his books ever since. Goddard's books aren't easily categorized - they're part mystery, part thriller, part history - but they're all fascinating. I'm amazed they aren't more popular in the U.S. If you like well-written mysteries that respect the intelligence of the reader, Goddard is a must.

Summary: Its amazing and kool.
Review: I would like to recommend the book CAUGHT IN THE NIGHT to all who loves thriller and romances. Beautiful words that Goddard uses in the novel moves me. The historical scene, the story-telling as well as the scenery description bring lots of imagination to all the readers. I was lucky when I bought that book in Prague. Another beautiful cities which just near Vienna where Ian Jarret met his unforgetable love--Marina Eguard. Sounds so sad about the death of Ians Daughter--Amy! I would rate the book in 4 * and would like everyone who likes thrillers to read this.

Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: I've only recently 'discovered' the author Robert Goddard and this is the third book I've read by him. It was fantastic, I particularly liked the flashbacks to the 1820s relating to the history of photography, it was so convincing that you wondered what was fact and what was fiction. You develop a real affinity with the main character Ian and are devastaed by the turn of events at the end - well worth reading!

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating, mysterious, intriguing, exciting, sad
Review: Robert Goddard is a genius - in his books, nothing is what it seems. Of all his books (yes, I have read them all), this has the best twist. But this is also his saddest book - there were tears in my eyes towards the end. No one in the world writes like Robert Goddard - his words penetrate to the soul and touch the heart.

Summary: Is it possible or not?
Review: Robert Goddard is an exceptional writer who has the ability to make you question the things in which you may or may not believe. His only downfall here was that he almost made the cast of characters too large to keep track of, especially when one of them keeps using different names. However, his description of Eris Moberly's/Marian Esguard's fugue states and forays into the past is so believable you can almost conceptualize being there. The characters and events are so intricately woven you sometimes can't tell where one ends and another begins. Definitely not a fast-paced thriller, but a book to be read slowly and savored right to the last page.
