Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. daughter drives father to suicide The Mind of Mr. Mosley is a cozy, funny mystery. Farcical, even. Inspector Mosley is a placid but determined man, who quietly carries on his investigation with absolutely no regard for police procedures, to the consternation of his superior officers. "If Mosley had put pen to paper about a routine visit, it would have meant that he was covering his flanks in preparation for something even more than usually devious, something that could only herald trouble in the remote future." Mosley has reservations about a suicide in Upper Crudshaw. He sets things into motion before going on a two-week vacation, and while he's gone all hell breaks loose. Upon his return, he pulls all the strings together, gets everything straightened out, and sits cozily at home while the truly ridiculous climax plays out. This was a fun, rather silly book, although it got pretty complicated at times. The title is deceptive, because there is very little insight into the workings of Mosley's mind. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

They're rustling sheep on Mosley's patch--the hill country of the Yorkshire-Lancashire border. Young Sergeant Beamish is in love. And Reuben Tunnicliffe of Upper Crudshaw has committed suicide by hanging himself with his braces in the earth closet at the bottom of his yard. Then his eighty-year-old widow Anna reports a theft of 500 pounds . . . Curious beyond the call of duty, unorthodox in his methods, and unwilling to leave matters in the hands of his nemesis Chief Inspector Marsters, the imperturbable Mosley sets a trap before departing on vacation. Before matters are sorted out, vicar Wilfred Weskitt is accused of running a brothel, Mosley publishes poetry under the name of local poetess laureate Millicent Millicheap, and the CIA, the KGB and Special Branch are baffled. But once again, Mosley triumphs in a manner that leaves his superiors and neighbours in states varying from bewilderment to near-apoplexy. John Greenwood is the pseudonym of John Buxton Hilton, writer of both the Inspector Simon Kenworthy and Inspector Thomas Brunt series. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
