Product Description

Product Description

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Agatha Christie...it's not, Jul 30 2002
By P. E. Knopick "Underwhelmed" (Laguna Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tour De Force is a Treat, Dec 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.
