Inspector Henry Tibbett is in Switzerland at an internation conference on drug smuggling. His wife Emmy came along to enjoy all the parties and the shopping. But their trip become a lot more serious when a participant in the conference is murdered and Henry becomes the only suspect. They are both drawn into a bewildering swirl of social activity among the upper classes while Henry fights to clear his name. He makes time, though, for a little flirtation with another woman, and between the crime, the woman, and the social scene, he's soon in real trouble. I enjoyed this one, but not as much as some of her other books. I didn't like the addition of the other woman, although I can see why it was important to the plot. Moyes brings back characters from Dead Men Don't Ski, which is fun. A good book, but not her best. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Amazingly enough, Henry Tibbett is at work. Crime tends to catch him when he's on vacation, but this time around Henry's at a coppers' conference, an international effort intended to stop drug-smuggling. The conference is in Switzerland (for a Scotland Yard detective, Henry does manage to get around.) and the always sensible Emmy has come along for the parties and the chocolate. It's a glittering whirl of attractive folks in their best early-1960s attire until one of Henry's colleagues winds up dead and Henry, of all people, becomes Suspect No. 1. A minor but real pleasure here? The reappearance of some characters from Dead Men Don't Ski, widening both the Tibbetts' social circle and the circle of suspects.
