Dead Men Don't Ski Patricia Moyes 9780805007053 Books

So very happy these books are finally starting to come out in Kindle format; I have been waiting what feels like forever for them. I read them back in the 90s in paperback format, but you know, paperback doesn't last forever, and even if it did I wasn't able to get them all (like #2). I'm really hoping Amazon will publish more than just the first 4.

Dead Men Don't Ski Patricia Moyes 9780805007053 Books Reviews

I recently dusted off my collection of Patricia Moyes books and started reading them chronologically, with "Dead Men Don't Ski" being the first in line. It has been so long that I actually didn't remember the plot (one of the nicer things about getting old!), but was immediately reminded how great she is as a mystery writer. Her plots are intricate, richly populated with interesting characters, and most of all, her books are very well written. I think it's time for Patricia Moyes to be resurrected and re-appreciated! Surprised that the publisher has not made an effort to reissue her books.
Dead Men Don't Ski (1958) introduces Henry Tibbett, a Scotland Yard Inspector. When Henry and his wife Emmy decided to take a skiing vacation, his superiors decide this is a perfect opportunity to investigate drug smuggling connected to Santa Chiara, a small village in the Italian Alps. On the train Emmy and Henry meet two parties also traveling to the Bella Vista ski hotel Colonel Buckfast and his annoying wife, and rich young Jimmy Passendell and his friends Caro and Roger. Henry and Emmy throw themselves wholeheartedly into skiing lessons and getting to know their fellow guests until one is shot on the ski lift connecting the hotel to the village below. The local investigators unmask Henry as a fellow policeman and ask his help in translating the interviews with the English guests. Henry in turn brings Emmy in to take notes. Henry's affable gentlemanly exterior hides a sharp mind and a nose for crime, supported by Emmy's cheerful capability and excellent listening skills. This series opener is a thoroughly enjoyable example of the classic British detective novel enlivened with a beautifully rendered setting.

Very contrived. Weird plot twists.
Really enjoyable British cozy style mystery. I felt like I had gone on vacation to an Alpine ski resort by the time I was done. Clean too -- not a lot of crude language or sex.
An excellent mystery, an atmospheric and remarkably well written book. But actually I enjoyed most of all the travel in Europe of the 1960th and just the whole time travel-like thing. Such a gem!
It was a pleasure to find this mystery, which is a true whodunit in the classic vein, not a novel disguised as a mystery. It's beautifully and carefully crafted work. It's unfortunate that Moyes books have become so hard to find, but I'll be looking for them.
First time I have read this authors books and must say thoroughly enjoyed it, have purchased the rest that are on kindle hope the others follow.
