Murder Fantastical
In the quaint village of Cregwall, the eccentric Manciple family is well-known for their quirky ways. Yet nothing has sparked more gossip than the body of Raymond Mason, found shot dead in their driveway. Mason had recently shown interest in buying their estate, and local authorities quickly call in Chief Inspector Henry Tibbett to investigate.
Despite his initial reservations, Tibbett finds himself intrigued by the Manciples, who will go to any lengths – even murder – to protect their ancestral home.

Reviews
'One of the deftest practitioners of the British procedural detective novel'
'A queen of crime … her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh'
'Gripping … very neatly worked out'
'Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters'
'Really good detection'
'Ingenious and elegant, with nary a trace of formula'
'Patricia Moyes tells great tales in fascinating settings, and her Scotland Yard detective, Henry Tibbett, is perhaps the most believable of anyone detecting in this decade'
'For classic detection, [Moyes] is far and away best'
