Summary "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 has a chum named Henry Tibbett, who comes in just awfully handy when people start dying on the set of the film that Pudge is producing. Tibbett is especially welcome because, by the second death, it's clear that we're not dealing merely with murder but with Impossible Crime, the kind of fiendishly clever puzzle that is killingly hard to write and even more difficult to solve. The twisty plot and gorgeously retro setting on their own would make for a splendid read, but adding Pudge to the mix puts it over the top. Praise for Patricia Moyes "The author who put the 'who' back in whodunit." -- Chicago Daily News "A new queen of crime... her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh." -- Daily Herald "An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition. Superbly handled." -- Columbus Dispatch "Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes' writing." -- Mystery Scene."-- Provided by Freading.
