| Summary |
"From the Agatha Award-winner for Lifetime Achievement: "An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition... superbly handled." -- Columbus Dispatch Scotland Yard's Henry Tibbett and his beloved Emmy have been traveling and are now headed back to England, where Henry is on the ferry out of Harwich. It's a trip Emmy's been looking forward to -- but her excitement flags when it becomes clear that the cabins are all spoken for, and she and Henry will have to bed down in the "sleeping lounge" with a motley collection of their fellow travelers. By morning, one traveler has lost both his life and his fortune in Dutch diamonds. That's bad enough, but a few days later, when Emmy's unpacking at home, she makes a discovery that puts both Tibbetts in real danger. It will take the combined analytical skills of the CID Chief Superintendent and his sharp-witted wife to get them free of that terrible boat ride... "The author who put the 'who' back in whodunit." -- Chicago Tribune "A new queen of crime... her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh." -- Daily Herald "Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes' writing." -- Mystery Scene"-- Provided by Freading. |
