"Henry Tibbett must solve the case of a man found dead in the driveway of an old-fashioned English country manor and delve into the family's past exploits" --
An Inspector Tibbetts mystery "which only serves to prove how ingeniously well Patricia Moyes is keeping up her variations on the classical whodunit" ( The Sun ). Think the Country-House Murder is a relic of the 1930s? Think again, and say hello to the Manciples, exactly the kind of eccentric...

"A mystery that throws Superintendent Henry Tibbett and wife Emmy head first into the greyhound racing underworld; a lively read." -- Northern Echo One of the oddities of Golden Age fiction was its fixation on the occult and the generally weird--ancient gypsy curses, haunted burial grounds, etc. It's therefore something of a relief to settle in with the refreshingly literal Ms. Moyes: When a title refers to a third dog, we are not talking about...

"Wins my Oscar for the craftiest murder method cooked up (literally) this month "from the author of the classic mystery Dead Men Don't Ski ( Sunday Telegraph ). Rich, aristocratic, and at the heart of swinging London, "Pudge" Coombe-Peters has everything except a decent nickname. And in fact, he has two special attributes: He owns the narration -- the drawling, deliciously snobbish, all-but-impossibly irritating narration -- of Falling Star, and he...

"Tibbett takes to the slopes. "A good who-did-do-it mystery, a Swiss ski resort setting, vigorous, professional writing. For a long winter evening: ideal." - The Times If I were Scotland Yard, I might be that put-out with Henry Tibbett: He seems never to stay in England for more than about ten minutes, and he's always taking vacations! This time around, he and the ever-pleasant Emmy are holidaying in the Alps when a popular ski instructor gets it...

"A classic mystery "bubbling with humor, bursting with clues, and switching from petty misdemeanors on the home shores to intrigue and adventure abroad." - Sheffield Morning Telegraph As "Pudge" Coombe-Peters proved, Moyes had a gift for the kind of dreadful nicknames the British are so good at. This time around it's "Flutter" Byers, a small-time hood who gets himself killed in a seedy Soho pub (was there, ever, any other kind?). Byers consorted with...

"Inspector Henry Tibbett's better half, wife Emmy, takes center stage in a WWII mystery. "The classical whodunnit remains safe in Miss Moyes' hands." -- The Sun To date, Emmy Tibbett has been something of a secondary character -- a placid, pleasantly plump presence who serves mostly to make her detective-husband Henry all the more likeable. With Johnny, however, Emmy at last gets a turn in the spotlight, as she and Henry head off for the 20th reunion...

"The renowned British author of Death on the Agenda delivers a "stunning finish with a return-from-the-dead trap. Very lively and zestful" ( Observer ). No question, one of the real delights of this series is all the early-1960s clotheshorses who go traipsing through the pages, and this time around, they're front and center. Moyes in fact worked as an editor at British Vogue , and her familiarity with the London fashion scene is put to good use in...

Description
Mavis Ironmonger is nobody's idea of a good diplomatic wife. She drinks too much, she's awfully friendly with the staff at the Washington embassy, and her music-hall roots have a way of bursting out at the most inappropriate moments. Indeed, it's at an embassy reception that Mavis manages to insult a visiting ambassador and get herself hauled off to sober up. With the party winding down, Mavis is due downstairs, to say the official goodbyes, but in...
