Resumen del Editor
Romance, intrigue, legend and adventure meet in this Lebanon-set classic gothic romance by beloved author Mary Stewart.
Legend has it that when the Gabriel Hounds run howling over the crumbling palace of Dar Ibrahim, high in the Adonis Valley of Lebanon, death will follow on their heels. When rich, spoilt Christie Mansel arrives at the decaying palace to look after her eccentric Aunt Harriet, she arrives to the sound of howling dogs. The palace is riddled with hidden passages and the servants are unwilling to let anyone see Harriet during the day. It seems the palace hides an extraordinary secret . . . one that somebody is willing to kill to keep.
The deep blue oblong of sky above the open court was pricking already with brilliant stars. No ugly diffusion of city light spoiled the deep velvet of that sky; even hanging as it was above the glittering and crowded richness of the Damascus oasis, it spoke of the desert and the vast empty silence beyond the last palm tree.
'A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.' Harriet Evans

In Zanizbar, the family house is Kivulimi, the mysterious "House of Shade", where Dany and the rest of the guests learn that one of them is a desperate killer. The air of freedom and nonchalance that opened the house party fades into growing terror, as the threat of futher violence flowers in the scented air of Zanzibar.

Polly has two sets of memories.... One is normal: school, home, friends. The other, stranger memories begin nine years ago, when she was 10 and gate-crashed an odd funeral in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed. But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must uncover the secret, or her true love - and perhaps Polly herself - will be lost.

John Fowles’s The Magus was a literary landmark of the 1960s. Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds. The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, and it continues to create tension and concern today.

Makes you want to visit the Levant
I've enjoyed re-reading this book for the past 45 years and am pleased to have it on audible. Overall the narrator does a good job, but the Lebanese driver (hired car) sounds like he is a London cabbie. That accent was never used by any driver in the Levant, but it is more funny than offensive. The story of a young lady visiting her eccentric Aunt, who has based her lifestyle on Lady Hester Stanhope, builds gradually into a tense mystery full of Salukis, harems and sinister characters. Mary Stuart's description of the locale is, as always, wonderful.

Slow start, but plenty happens
It took a while for this Stewart story to get started, but once it did it was a fun mystery in an unusual setting.
I truly enjoyed Ellie Heydon’s narration. She masters the art of keeping the story interesting and moving without trying to act all the characters. I will be looking for more books narrated by her.

Flawless performance of a Mary Stewart treasure
So glad I own this so I can listen again and again. It's the original British version not sold in States, so I found it interesting to note what had been changed. Fell in love with it more than 50 years ago; so great to read it in the Age of Google, which allowed me to look up details that add much to the story. Ellie Haydon has the perfect voice for Stewart's heroines, who narrate their own stories. Her male voices are varied, convincing, and charming, too. One of my favorite narrators. If I penned a British story, I'd seek her out to narrate.

Such an adventure!
A very different setting and fascinating adventure for Mary Stewart! The mystery and thrills came later in the story, but I enjoyed little moments of humor in the end that appeared as well. The main character was very young and naive which played off well against her dangerous adventure. She certainly grew up a bit by the end. Ellie Heydon was treat to listen to, her performances are splendid! I enjoyed her other narration of “Nine Coaches Waiting” also by Mary Stewart. This adventure will take you somewhere very far away, and places very English characters against the backdrop of the Middle East in the 1960s. So as a historical novel it is very enjoyable. There are stereotype portrayals, but I think that is due to the time period when the book was written. However, Mary Stewart tells her tale with style, in a slightly less frenetic pace unlike her earlier stories. I enjoyed it very much, it was like watching a film hearing it read aloud due to detailed descriptions of the events and places. Enjoy!!

A magical escapist romance
I love a book that transports me to another place and time, and Mary Stewart never fails to do that for me. Yes, this book is largely predictable. I figured out most of the plot twists early on. However, I still found it extremely enjoyable. With Mary Stewart, the point of reading the book is the journey and not the destination. I feel like I have seen the Lebanon and Syria of the 1960's, when that part of the world was actually a tourist destination. The imagery is wonderful throughout. I adore Mary Stewart's daring young heroines and brave, good-looking young men. Sometimes, I want a book that makes me think. But sometimes, I just to be carried off by a well-written novel!

Great suspense, strong heroine
Great mystery in an intriguing, atmospheric setting. Independent young woman finds herself in an unusual and dangerous situation in a crumbling Lawrence of Arabia style desert palace fortress. She is helped by a man but relies on herself to solve mystery and save herself.
I have read it more than once but really enjoyed this audiobook.
There are some outdated societal standards but nothing offensive and they almost seem token. She is an "everywoman" in an exceptional situation as are all of Mary Stewart suspense heroines.
The narration is very good and follows the tone of the story.

A great story by my Fave Aurhor!
I loved The Gabriel Hounds! So exotic, set in Lebanon snd in a Sheik's castle no less. The author's descriptions are so vivid, the story so compelling that you just can't put it down. The best in gothic mystery romance. Loved the narrator as well.
