Charming in the classic British style; even moving the action to Greece doesn't change the traditional structure. Blake's novels are always more about the people than any forensic investigation. The solution is foreshadowed almost from the start, which doesn't take any joy away from seeing how they get there. Tricky, intellectual & great fun. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY When private detective Nigel Strangeways books tickets for a holiday in the Greek islands with renowned sculptor Claire Massinger, he has no idea that the trip will end in tragedy. From the moment the boat sets sail it becomes clear that many of his fellow passengers - from a neurotic widow to the ship's lecturer - have guilty secrets to hide, but do any of them also have a motive for murder? It will take all of Nigel's insight and flair if he is to uncover the truth.

A small cruise ship (around 70 cabins) stands in for the more usual country house, so Blake can add the charm of Greece and a bit of academic knowledge as well.
An obnoxious little girl is murdered (no spoiler: you can see this coming almost from her first appearance in the book), and another passenger has disappeared. Surely these must be connected, but how?
An experienced mystery reader will recognize the solution fairly easily, as the hints are clear. Even so, this is an interesting way to pass a few hours, and Blake’s writing never fails to give pleasure. ( )
