Poor Inspector Tibbett! Once again, he is attempting to have a nice vacation. And once again, Crime has a different idea. This time, Tibbett and his cheerful wife, Emmy, are lazing on a friend's yacht, tacking from one little English sea-town to the next, and it should all be delicious indolence . . . except that Henry can't stop thinking about death. Well, one death in particular. The death of a local sailor. And he especially can't stop thinking about it when it starts looking as though the drowned sailor is somehow connected to the robbery at a nearby manor-house. As with so many of the books in this series, much of the pleasure lies in the setting's timelessness: It's officially 1961 for The Sunken Sailor, but in Berrybridge Haven, and on England's peaceful waterways, it is time out of mind.… (altro)

I'm not impressed with Henry's swooning over the annoying woman that all the men are lusting after. He has a great wife in Emmy, he supposedly loves her, and yet he keeps letting his head be turned by these random other women. (

Classic, old-timer with lots of British 60s sailing info and atmosphere. (

My first CI Tibbetts book. Typical English mystery from the 1960s. A lot of detail about boating, but it was probably necessary to understand the crime(s). Chief Inspector Henry Tibbitt is on holiday with his wife, Emmy. I will read more to discover what Tibbitt is like in his work setting. (

Almost an evocation of place more than a mystery, perhaps like many Moyes books. The main action takes place in a small pub in a rural corner of England, where many picturesque characters gather to exhibit their picturesqueness for the tourists who come down to sail. The puzzle is fun without being overly complex or deceptive, and the added twist of buried pirate treasure may evoke pleasant memories of the Famous Five. A few of the characters are not totally believable, even the ones that are not being intentionally picturesque, and I had a hard time buying into all the romantic entanglements. But a solid entry in the Tibbett series for all that. (

It is often interesting, in retrospect, to consider the trifling causes that lead to great events.
