Dead Men Don't Ski by Patricia Moyes
3.0
“Behind the railway line, the mountains reared in white splendour: by now, the sun had left the village, but lingered on the rosy peaks and on the high snowfields. Far up the mountain , where the trees thinned out, just on the dividing line between sunshine and shadow, was a single isolated building…”
This is Bella Vista, the place where the team of Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy begin their detective work. This mystery novel is the first of Moyes’ stories about Tibbett and “his nose”. Moyes’ tales are entertaining and fun to read. I would imagine that many people have read them for the story – the plots are good and interesting to follow.
I, however, like Henry and Emmy. Every time my friend gives me one of these crime novels, I read them to see how the Tibbetts are getting on. They seem like friendly, kind people, people who I would have liked to meet.
If you enjoy reading British mysteries and don’t mind a bit of time travel back to simpler times, these stories may be for you.
