If a whodunit is the sort of thing you enjoy, you are really in luck, since Patricia Moyes wrote 19 novels featuring the very likeable British inspector Henry Tibbett.

All in all, these are fun stories, many of which examine a particular industry, hobby, or subculture, and justice always prevails.

If you're a fan of Moyes or considering to pick up one of her novels, here is a summary of Tibbett's many cases.

The travel budget for Scotland Yard, by the way, must have been simply enormous.

First introduced to us in Dead Men Don't Ski, Tibbett is on the globe-trotting case while holidaying in the Italian Dolemites. You may have read our review of the book here.

Ms. Moyes' next novel (The Sunken Sailor) takes Tibbett boating with friends (where murder again finds him). 

In Death on the Agenda, the detective’s on an international crime conference trip to Switzerland–and you will not be surprised to learn that someone ends up dead.  

Murder a la Mode is set in the world of high fashion; Falling Star takes place among filmmakers; the crimes in Johnny Underground center upon a 20th reunion of Emmy’s Royal Air Force Squad.  

Murder Fantastical is a highlight of the series (it’s a country house mystery, and introduces some absolutely delightful eccentric characters). 

Death and the Dutch Uncle serves up some international intrigue and more European travel. 

Who Saw Her Die? takes us to a weekend house party where things go rather awry. 

Tibbett's in the French Alps for Season of Snow and Sins. The Curious Case of the Third Dog brings us into the world of greyhound racing. 

Ms. Moyes set some of her later novels in the Caribbean and I thought these were less successful; I didn’t care much for Black Widower, The Coconut Killings, Angel Death, or Black Girl, White Girl. 

But Who is Simon Warwick?, A Six-Letter Word for Death, Night Ferry to Death, and Twice in a Blue Moon all return us to England for yet more deadly doings (with a few side trips).
