A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY

When private detective Nigel Strangeways books tickets for a holiday in the Greek islands with renowned sculptor Claire Massinger, he has no idea that the trip will end in tragedy.

From the moment the boat sets sail it becomes clear that many of his fellow passengers - from a neurotic widow to the ship's lecturer - have guilty secrets to hide, but do any of them also have a motive for murder? It will take all of Nigel's insight and flair if he is to uncover the truth.

A Nigel Strangeways murder mystery - the perfect introduction to the most charming and erudite detective in Golden Age crime fiction.

Biografía del autor

Nicholas Blake was the pseudonym of Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis, who was born in County Laois, Ireland in 1904. After his mother died in 1906, he was brought up in London by his father, spending summer holidays with relatives in Wexford. He was educated at Sherborne School and Wadham College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1927. Blake initially worked as a teacher to supplement his income from his poetry writing and he published his first Nigel Strangeways novel, A Question of Proof, in 1935. Blake went on to write a further nineteen crime novels, all but four of which featured Nigel Strangeways, as well as numerous poetry collections and translations.

During the Second World War he worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information, which he used as the basis for the Ministry of Morale in Minute for Murder, and after the war he joined the publishers Chatto & Windus as an editor and director. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968 and died in 1972 at the home of his friend, the writer Kingsley Amis.

The Widow's Cruise

Revisado en Reino Unido el 17 de mayo de 2020

Compra verificada

This is the thirteenth in the Nigel Strangeways series, written by Nicholas Blake, a pseudonym for Cecil Day-Lewis. I am sad that I am coming towards the end of these books now, as I have enjoyed most of the books – especially those at the beginning, and end, of the series (admittedly, there was a bit of a dip in the middle, but Blake seems to have got a second wind around this period; this particular book was published in 1959.

Strangeways goes on a Greek cruise with sculptor, Clare Massinger. Of course, there are mixed group of passengers, all with their secrets and motives for murder. From the beginning, you feel that Nigel Strangeways suspects something will go wrong and, indeed, murder does seem to follow him about. I liked the cruise setting and the interplay between those on board – from a rather overly curious child, to a bullying ex-schoolmistress and a Greek expert humiliated by a passenger during a lecture. Of course, Strangeways solves the crime, but the journey is very enjoyable.

CRUISING FOR A BRUISING...

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 20 de mayo de 2017

Compra verificada

I came across this book while watching a British mystery, and one of the characters was reading it. As an avid cruiser, I was intrigued by its title. After checking Amazon, I discovered it really was an actual book. So, I ordered it, and was not disappointed.

One can immediately tell that the author has a decided literary bent, as the book, which is a murder mystery, is exceedingly well-written. As it turns out, the author's name is a pseudonym for Cecil Day-Lewis, who was an Anglo-Irish Poet Laureate for the United Kingdom and the father of Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor.

The book was published in 1959, so it reflects the social mores of the time. It also provides a glimpse into what cruising was like then, a bit different than what it is like in the present. The mystery and murder take place during the cruise, when one of two sisters is bumped off. The only question is, "Who dunnit"?

Fans of the British mystery genre, should definitely enjoy this book. This is one of many such books written by the author, and I look forward to reading them, as well.

The Widow's Cruise

Revisado en Reino Unido el 29 de diciembre de 2016

Nigel Strangeways books a cruise to the Greek Islands with sculptor Claire Massinger only to find himself involved with a group of people who seem to have a lot of secrets between them. Some of them seem to know each other but don't want to admit it. It is a classic scenario for murder to take place and it will keep the reader guessing.

I enjoyed the cruise background to this story and as ever Nicholas Blake makes the characters believable and interesting. There are plenty of clues to keep the reader trying to fit everything together. The murder doesn't happen until half way through the book so if you prefer books where the murder takes place near the beginning you won't like the scene setting.

The book is well written as are all Nicholas Blake's Nigel Strangeways series. The series can be read in any order though if you want to read them in the order in which they were published then this is number thirteen.

Classy crime

Revisado en Reino Unido el 8 de marzo de 2015

Compra verificada

This novel of shipboard murder is beautifully written, not surprisingly since the author was Poet Laureate Cecil Day Lewis. The plot is equally clever, and kept me guessing right to the end. Day Lewis wrote nineteen 'Nicholas Blake' thrillers, most featuring amateur sleuth Nigel Strangeways, and all of them are superb exercises in the whodunnit genre. A special mention must be made of "The Beat Must Die" and "The Private Wound", but crime buffs will find any of the books more than satisfying.

ok. but the characters were all odd.

I’ve never been on such a cruise so perhaps I’m wrong. But for example the two sisters being so opposite didn’t altogether make sense. The bishop having such a busybody nasty gossip of a wife seemed unlikely. But I read it through so it gets a three and I’m willing to try another.
