The writing is very good and the settings, mostly England, are beautiful. The main character is no nonsense with a great Brit name Henry Tibbetts! I will add the rest of the series to my to read list. There are ~20 more! Patricia Moyes passed in 2006? I think, but there is a lot to still read. ( ) Chief Inspector Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, look forward to a peaceful vacation while visiting Emily's sister in the country village of Gorsemere. However, an emergency phone call involves Henry is a search for a missing dog and quite unexpectedly leads him into a baffling web of crime. A series of seemingly unrelated events--a local man's accidental act of murder, a shootout in a London stadium, and some scandalous behavior among England's nobility--draws Henry into the sinister behind-the-scenes world of dog racing, where the deadly seriousness of the big-money stakes provokes a lethal confrontation. I really liked this book. I love this author and can't find her books in print anymore. This one was worth the search. It was full of twists that kept you guessing. Highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"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 some metaphysical barking: There were three dogs and now one is missing. Up in arms about this is Emmy Tibbett's sister Jane, a stalwart of the animal-rights movement and a trial to the other locals, who are a lot more concerned with the fact that one of their number has recently been hauled off to prison for the minor crime of having killed someone while drunk. Happily, Henry Tibbett soon shows up to connect the two and restore order to the village . . . though not before being forced to dress in drag. 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 Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
