Product Description

Ingram

The vacationing Inspector Cockrill is on the job again when a fellow tourist is stabbed to death on a small Mediterranean island. The local police, in Cockrill's opinion, are illprepared for interrogating the tourload of suspects, she he takes it upon himself to confront these not-so-innocents abroad. The results, in high Brand-style, are both suspenseful and hilarious. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Agatha Christie...it's not, Juil 30 2002
Par P. E. Knopick "Underwhelmed" (Laguna Hills, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ms. Brand attempts to write an Agatha Christie mystery but she can't plot like the master so we are left with a very disappointing effort.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great fun!, Oct. 30 2001
This book was really a lot of fun. It's a classic whodunit with plenty of clues as well as some red herrings so that you can really try to figure it out for yourself. Well written as well.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Tour De Force is a Treat, Déc 8 2000
A well-plotted, clever, fun tale of a British tour group's visit to an island near Italy but governed by Spain. One of the tourists is murdered, naturally. The local police just want to arrest *someone*; they can always arrange to hire some "witnesses" later. So Inspector Cockrill's vacation turns into a busman's holiday and he investigates, after informing the local officers "Me--Scotalanda Yard!". Lots and lots of clues, and plenty of red herrings. I correctly guessed the solution, but Brand almost convinced me I was wrong. I was impressed by the non-judgmental depiction of a gay character, pretty progressive considering that the book was first published in 1955. A witty book, and (hooray) one of several Brands currently in print.
