Description
The British LibraryA republished mystery with a travel-themed twist, from the golden age of British crime-writing. A package holiday gone wrong when Inspector Cockrill books a Mediterranean trip to an island off the Italian coast. His eight fellow tourists soon sour the sun-and-sea fun as simmering resentments, rivalries and lovers’ secrets surface within the group. Then, when one of their number is found murdered, the Inspector watches as the local police seem only to care about apprehending a suspect quickly. Far from a holiday, Inspector Cockrill begins to think the culprit has been on the trip all along as one of the party but how can one of the guests have committed an ‘impossible’ crime? An ingenious plot in a novel from 1955 by Christianna Brand (1907-88), the acclaimed author of the Nurse Matilda novels, adapted as ‘Nanny McPhee, and the Inspector Cockrill mysteries.
