Night Ferry to Death by Patricia Moyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my first mystery by Moyes I’ve read and I liked it a lot. I’ve garnered other Moyes novels and will be dipping into them soon for more of the Tibbetts.
This is a fine mystery with lots of procedural efforts to find the bad guy. The writing is solid with no excess. I was surprised that even a clue I noticed wasn’t mentioned to convict the guilty. That is also meaning I knew who it was within the first 25 pages, which was disappointing. Though so much else happened, that I was perplexed as to what entirely was going on.
My only trouble is the heavy violence wrought by the cause of the mystery. Didn’t seem to fit.
Still a great mystery and well well worth reading.
Bottom line: I recommend it. 9 of 10 points.
