Who is Wynne Lift? And where is he?
Those are the questions asked by British Professor Foster Livingston and American reporter Peter Wylie. They make a plan to go find this enigma and find out why he would spend a couple of decades alone in a big castle in the middle of nowhere.
Of course, the two men don’t get along, it’s like the British Oil and American Water don’t want to mix. But when they reach the castle, they attempt to put aside their differences to get the answers they came all the way to get.
Wynn Lift is nice; he’s excited to have visitors and he insists they stay with him, without going out of the castle. Without being able to even walk in the gardens. The two men begin to wonder what is wrong with Lift and why he is insisting the men stay.
Those fears have a cause. And it is more than either man thought it would be.
I wanted to like this book more than I did. It’s an easy read at 137 pages long and the narrative moves swiftly. But the clues that were needed to piece what was going on didn’t seem to be there. And the ending could have been a lot stronger. The book’s plot would have worked better with a few more chapters and some character development on the title character.
It IS a good book, but it could have been so much better with some more development and a bit longer.
