The Ways of the World
The Ways of the World: (The Wide World - James Maxted 1) | Robert Goddard
4 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
1919. The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the worlds nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistresss apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henrys son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James Max Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe.And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery.

Day 9 of #Top20Series #20Series20Days

Love Robert Goddard‘s writing, and he was on top form with The Wide World Trilogy, intrigue and espionage set against the backdrop of the Peace Conference in Paris in 1919. This had ripples across the world.

If not read Robert Goddard he is a master storyteller and one of my favourite authors.

Tove_Reads I asked my library to get it some time ago, and the page says they‘ve ordered two in February, but I guess this virus has delayed the library getting them. 4y

For #19 #Nineteen just has to be The Ways of the World, the first book in the truly wonderful Wide World Trilogy by one of my favourite authors. This is a mystery / thriller that is set across the three books, starting with the backdrop of the 1919 Peace Conference in Paris following the First World War. One upmanship and trying to steal a march on the other countries is everywhere. Cannot recommend highly enough. #Novemberbythenumbers.

#TimesLikeThese The Paris Peace Conference in 1919 was meant to stop any chance of another war breaking out in the future, of course we now know this wasn't successful and the horror was to return! This is one of my favourite trilogies, a great Mystery and Suspense global story taking place against the backdrop of the Paris Peace Conference.
Robert Goddard is a master storyteller, you simply must read him! #rocktober

Andrew65 @Cinfhen For me the whole trilogy was 5 star++++, and I see a fourth one is to be published next year which surprises me as I thought everything had been finalised in the last one. But can't wait. Love every one of his books. 7y

This book is set during the 1919 Paris #Peace Conference. It is the first book in the Max Maxted / Wide World Trilogy. This is one of my favourite trilogies by one of my favourite authors. If you like great thrillers you simply HAVE TO READ these books & other books by Robert Goddard.
