From Booklist
Rejoice--Inspector Enrique Alvarez, Cuerpo General de Policia, Mallorca, is back, and the brandy-loving, slow-moving inspector has never been better than he is in this classic locked-room mystery. An elderly peasant woman who owns land in a remote and fertile valley is found dead in her bedroom with the doors and windows locked from the inside. The inspector isolates three suspects, each with a perfect motive for murder: the woman's nephew, who is her heir and very much in need of money; a deal maker who may have forged the woman's signature to get title to her land; and a shady investment counselor who almost certainly swindled the woman out of her life savings. Add to the mix a wonderful backdrop made up of the resident English expatriates (forever complaining about the native servants), the inspector's merciless boss in Madrid, and the effects of Mallorca's sometimes painful transition from an agricultural society to one based on tourism, and you have Jeffries' winning formula. A must purchase for active mystery collections. Stuart Miller
From Library Journal
Jeffries provides another Inspector Alvarez charmer set in Mallorca. The inspector's skills are tested when a reclusive widow is found dead inside a locked room. Dependable entertainment.
