Night Ferry to Death
From the Agatha Award-winner for Lifetime Achievement: “An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition . . . superbly handled.” —Columbus Dispatch

Scotland Yard’s Henry Tibbett and his beloved Emmy have been traveling and are now headed back to England, where Henry is on the ferry out of Harwich. It’s a trip Emmy’s been looking forward to—but her excitement flags when it becomes clear that the cabins are all spoken for, and she and Henry will have to bed down in the “sleeping lounge” with a motley collection of their fellow travelers. By morning, one traveler has lost both his life and his fortune in Dutch diamonds. That’s bad enough, but a few days later, when Emmy’s unpacking at home, she makes a discovery that puts both Tibbetts in real danger. It will take the combined analytical skills of the CID Chief Superintendent and his sharp-witted wife to get them free of that terrible boat ride . . .

“The author who put the ‘who’ back in whodunit.” —Chicago Tribune

“A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh.” —Daily Herald

“Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes’ writing.” —Mystery Scene
