In Search of Murder

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Inspector Alvarez is rudely awakened from his afternoon siesta by a phone call reporting the death of one Senor Picare. On arrival at the Picare villa, it seems his grieving widow is passed out in bed and the housekeeper, Rosalía, is the one dealing with the police and comforting the young maid, Marta, who is devastated by the death of her employer. It soon becomes clear that Senor Picare may have promised Marta – and other young women – more than he should have done and there could be a fair number of disgruntled husbands or fathers around who had a reason to want him gone. Alvarez’s investigation, as always, is full of the vivid colour of Mallorcan life and passion, and despite Superior Chief Salas’ instructions, he doggedly follows his own – often unconventional – path until he finds out the truth . . .

Murder, Majorcan Style

By: Roderic Jeffries

An Inspector Alvarez Mystery - Inspector Alvarez is just considering whether he can surreptitiously leave work early when a colleague calls to tell him that an Englishman has been found dead in his car in his garage, the engine on and the tank empty. Alvarez, chafing over the prospect of an evening on the job, proceeds to the scene, but his hopes of a quick and easy case are dashed - for while the man was found in a car full of fumes, it appears the cause of death was not carbon-monoxide poisoning . . .

An Enigmatic Disappearance

An Inspector Alvarez Mystery

By: Roderic Jeffries

Inspector Alvarez likes the quiet life, away from the disapproving gaze of his boss, Superior Chief Salas, and the antics of Mallorca's expatriate community. So he is not inclined to become too concerned when Bevis Ogden, a wealthy British man, reports the disappearance of his attractive young wife, Sabrina. No doubt she has found a younger, possibly wealthier, alternative and left for greener pastures. However, the discovery of a body at the bottom of a gorge changes his attitude dramatically. The husband is distraught, but is this just an act? Rumors abound over Sabrina's lifestyle-from the lovers to the over-indulgent spending. But their expat pack is rife with unsavory characters: The young gigolo who, dependent on a wealthy older woman, may have had an illicit affair with Sabrina; and the cynical and bitter friend whose advances she may have rejected. The investigation becomes even more complicated when the specter of an insurance fraud is raised. Alvarez thinks he knows the answer, but proving his theory is another matter. Wittier and fresher than ever, this latest novel in the "good natured, wonderfully ironic, completely captivating" series (Buffalo News), proves that Roderic Jeffries is a clever and compelling storyteller at the top of his form.

The Ambiguity of Murder

An Inspector Alvarez Mystery

By: Roderic Jeffries

When the body of retired Bolivian diplomat Guido Zavala is found floating in his swimming pool, Inspector Alvarez finds evidence that points to foul play. Though the Inspector would rather be sipping a brandy in the shade, he begins to look for suspects. As Alvarez digs further into Zavala's past, he quickly uncovers a history of dubious acts that had left Zavala with numerous enemies-each with plenty of motive to see him dead. There is Jerome Robertson, whose beautiful and much younger wife had been involved in an affair with Zavala; Santiago Pons, a builder whose gambling debts had left him at Zavala's mercy; and Bailey, an honorable man who had suffered at the hands of Zavala. The deeper he delves into the case, the more Alvarez begins to find himself in danger. After a series of phone calls that make it all too clear he could be the next victim, he appeals to Superior Chief Salas for help and is denied. Will Alvarez be able to weed through the long list of suspects before it's too late? Jeffries delivers yet another delightful and witty mystery featuring "the brandy-loving, slow-moving" (Booklist) Inspector Alvarez.

Death in the Coverts

By: Roderic Jeffries

A wealthy family’s country estate becomes a site of scandal—and murder—in this “first-rate whodunit” (The Sunday Telegraph). The wealthy Decker family has lived at Hurstley Place for hundreds of years. And the traditional pheasant shoot is still an annual event, although it is now financed and enjoyed by members of an outside organization. One of its members, Bill Rafferty, desperately wants to be invited to dinner by the Deckers and accepted into their social circle. But the Deckers treat him with disdain. When Rafferty is found dead in the forest, it’s assumed he accidentally shot himself because of his clumsiness with a rifle—until DI Doherty arrives on the scene and suspects foul play. When it’s discovered that Rafferty had been blackmailing the Decker estate, and rumors that his wife was having an affair, it seems the killing may have had a motive. When a second person is shot dead in the woods, murder is beyond doubt. But after the police think they’ve captured the culprit, more evidence reveal they may have apprehended an innocent man. If so, the real killer remains free to pursue a twisted criminal scheme, in this compelling crime novel from an “ingenious” writer (The New York Times Book Review). “All Mr. Jeffries’ stories are well made and interesting.” —The Times Literary Supplement

A Maze of Murders

An Inspector Alvarez Mystery

By: Roderic Jeffries

After a night of hard partying, four British tourists fall asleep on a pleasure boat off Mallorca. The next morning, however, three of them, Sheard, Kirsty, and Cara, slowly realize that the fourth, Lewis, is no longer there. Inspector Alvarez is disturbed by a phone call during his leisurely breakfast ordering him to find the missing man. As Alvarez quickly discovers, though, Lewis was no ordinary tourist. Even though his twentieth adventure takes him away from his beloved Mallorca to mainland Spain and to Paris, Alvarez still finds plenty of time for nips of brandy, long midday meals, and even a siesta or two, as he attacks this latest impossible crime with his usual sleepy and sun-soaked vigor.
