Death on the Agenda

by Patricia Moyes

Book Overview

In the plush Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, law officers from many countries are assembled to discuss the control of drug smuggling. Among them is Inspector Henry Tibbett, who is representing Britain, while his wife, Emmy, enjoys a holiday in the beautiful, cosmopolitan city surrounded by mountains, lakes and rarefied air. Perhaps it is the latter that causes the normally steadfast Henry to find himself involved with a very attractive young woman, a liaison that quickly complicates his ability to account for himself when an important official at the conference is found slumped across his desk with a dagger in his back.

Patricia Moyes book

I really like the book. I have added it to my collection. Thank you.

An early book, not her best, but very good.

Inspector Henry Tibbett is in Switzerland at an internation conference on drug smuggling. His wife Emmy came along to enjoy all the parties and the shopping. But their trip become a lot more serious when a participant in the conference is murdered and Henry becomes the only suspect. They are both drawn into a bewildering swirl of social activity among the upper classes while Henry fights to clear his name. He makes time, though, for a little flirtation with another woman, and between the crime, the woman, and the social scene, he's soon in real trouble.I enjoyed this one, but not as much as some of her other books. I didn't like the addition of the other woman, although I can see why it was important to the plot. Moyes brings back characters from Dead Men Don't Ski, which is fun. A good book, but not her best.
