Another enjoyable read in this series. The plot is quite complex and after the death of the very reprehensible Gilbert Tarsier, the first thing is to decide whether his death was an accident or murder. There are plenty of reasons for thinking murder but then who had the motive or the opportunity?

You will have noticed that these novels are relatively short, so quite a lot happens in a small space, and yet the character development is very good.

I do recommend this series, but read them in order please. Available on Kindle very cheaply. However, published over 50 years ago, so probably not available now in hard copy. ( )

A very obnoxious (English) journalist is found dead in his room in a luxury hotel in sunny Spain. And there are plenty of suspects about....
The wonderfull charm of this series is A) a nostalgic atmosphere where tourism, hotelservice, social habits (for example: people dress up for dinner,...) were an entirely different thing, B) a kind and intelligent Spanish Inspector Borges.
A Spanish holiday ( granted, with an early sixties feel) has never been so enticing, even with a murderer about! ( )
