I read this book as a teenager and it was wonderful. I have fond memories of how exciting it wasto read. They made a movie starring Halley Mills which was ok but didn't do the book justice.

This is the first Mary Stewart book I read and still one of my favorites. She is magic!

This is truly one of the classics of romantic suspense. No overwrought scenes, throbbing hearts, or gory murders, just a steady escalation of tension interspersed with enchanting descriptions of Crete's natural beauty. Stewart was a magician at describing a scene and her heroines are all brave and resourceful (if perhaps a tad submissive for today). The understated attraction between Nicola and Mark is just right for this story.

I love Mary Stewart's books. The Moon-Spinners is one of my top 3 favorites! This book is ten times better than the movie (which totally changed the story)! A 20-something woman vacations in Greece and accidentally gets involved with a man who has a mysterious injury and a great desire not to be found. She knows something is up but he and his Greek friend refuse her help. She leaves them--only to run smack into the trouble they were hoping to allow her to avoid!
