The Sunken Sailor
Inspector Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, are enjoying a holiday on a friend's yacht, lazily sailing from one little English sea-town to the next.
It should all be delicious indolence... except that Tibbett can't stop thinking about death. Well, one death in particular. The death of a local sailor.
And he really can't stop thinking about it when it starts looking as though the drowned sailor is somehow connected to the robbery at a nearby manor house.

Reviews
'For classic detection, [Moyes] is far and away best'
'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'
