I've read all of Mary Stewart's books and owned most of them at least once. I believe this is the third copy of "The Moonspinners" that I've bought over the years. A wonderful book, and in my opinion, her best. Just love it.

Mary Stewart is a wonderful writer. This book is even better than I remembered. I'm glad that I re-discovered her books. Loved the setting in Greece, the intrigue, and the writing.
Rated by buyers -
Mary Stewart is a brilliant author. I've read the Moonspinners several times, and I'm always hooked from the very very first line: "It was the egret, flying out of the lemon-grove, that started it."
Sparks of romance light the way through this unique mystery filled with danger and delight. Swept along with Nicola and Mark--as they risk their lives in the exotic White Mountains of Crete--this story is fresh for me every time!
Rated by buyers -
I think this book is very exciting because the author can make the reader imagine the investigation.When you come to a village where no one can be trusted and then you become involved in a murder mystery,what do you do? If you interested in exciting story,you should read this book.

After reading Nine Coaches Waiting I went looking for more books by Mary Stewart, and this one somehow caught my attention first. The Moonspinners is awesome, one of Stewart's best.
Nicola is a young woman on holiday from her job at the Embassy in Greece, who agrees to meet up with an older friend on Crete. She arrives before her friend, and goes exploring in the mountains above the village where she will be staying. There she finds Mark, who has been wounded by a gunshot, and his Greek friend Lambis, and ends up tending to Mark for a night while Lambis goes back to their boat. Nicola finds out that Mark's brother Colin was kidnapped by Cretan men after they witnessed the possible murder of a Greek man, and Mark himself was wounded and presumed dead by the kidnappers/murderers. Nicola goes down to the village and meets up with her friend Frances, but can't seem to stop thinking about Mark and his brother, and does some sleuthing of her own, though she promised Mark she'd stay out of it.
I think what I love most about this book is how subtly the romance between Mark and Nicola develops--they're only together for about twenty or thirty pages of the entire book, but their interest in each other is very believable and not contrived or forced for the sake of the story.
