Season of Snows and Sins

By Patricia Moyes

Book Overview

Henry and Emmy Tibbett are on a holiday in the picturesque Alpine village of Montarraz when a popular ski instructor is murdered, apparently by his long-suffering wife, who was distraught after his affair with Giselle Arnay, the French film star. Yet the jet-set crowd with whom Giselle shares a ski chalet seem almost too anxious to see the young widow found guilty, leading Henry to suspect something more than adultery may have been the real motive for the crime. Soon not even the sparkling layers of snow can conceal a deeply buried scandal that involves some of the most powerful people in the French society.

Customer Reviews

an extraordinary book

A fascinating book with Swiss rural locale, Parisian politicians and actresses, pretty women, bad men, secret scandal, complex but riveting plot, and lucid and easy prose. This was my first glimpse of this author, suggested in a travel publication for one who likes travel, and picked off a library shelf, and I immediately looked for all her other books. Others don't look as good, but "Death of a Dutch Uncle" was fine. I'm mighty glad I didn't miss this one.
