Murder À La Mode

The renowned British author of Death on the Agenda delivers a stunning finish with a return-from-the-dead trap. Very lively and zestful (Observer). No question, one of the real delights of this series is all the early-1960s clotheshorses who go traipsing through the pages, and this time around, theyre front and center.

A little six feet under, in fact. Enter Inspector Tibbett, who knows very little about fashion, but quite a lot about solving crime. Praise for Patricia Moyes The author who put the who back in whodunit. Chicago Daily News A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh. Daily Herald An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition. Superbly handled. Columbus Dispatch Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes writing. Mystery Scene
