Product Description

Product Description

Praise for the Sergeant Cribb series:

“Sgt. Cribb and Constable Thackeray . . . went on to star in seven additional Victorian mystery novels and became the subjects of one of the first, and most entertaining, of the ‘Mystery!’ series on PBS.”—Otto Penzler, New York Sun

In the fifth Sergeant Cribb mystery, either anarchists or Irish terrorists are setting off explosions in public places. Is the villain an American athlete? A beautiful Irish woman? Could Constable Thackeray be involved?

Peter Lovesey is the author of twenty-six highly praised mystery novels and has been awarded the Crime Writers’ Association Gold, Silver, and Diamond daggers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what it seems, 16 Aug 2009
By 
R. D. A. Foreman "Tonyforeman" (Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tick of Death (Sergeant Cribb Investigations) (Paperback)
Beware - this is not a new book as I was led to believe when I ordered it back in May but a reissue of "Invitation to a Dynamite Party" from 1974 with an American title! There is nothing to suggest this in the Amazon description.
Even so I have rated this 5 stars because it was always a rattling good story and even the silly "sexed-up" new title can't alter that. This version contains at least one typographical error which changes "carriages" into "carnages"!

5.0 out of 5 stars title change not new book, 21 Aug 2010
By 
J. Allen (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tick of Death (Sergeant Cribb Investigations) (Paperback)
Bought 'the tick of death' thinking that Peter Lovesey had written a new Sargeant Cribb novel. How disappointing that it was an old book re-issued under another title. I returned the book to amazon as I already have this one under the original title 'invitation to a dynamite party'. According to Amazon this was my error therefore had to pay out for return postage, even though there was no information about this book.
As far as the book is concerned it is an excellent read.
No thanks to Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inadequate information, 3 Mar 2011
By 
Mr. Graham Hawken (Farnborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tick of Death (Sergeant Cribb Investigations) (Paperback)
I have written about this to you before (without receiving the courtesy of a reply)- when a book is republished under a new title "The Tick of Death" rather than the original "Invitation to a Dynamite Party" it is surely incumbent on you to inform putative purchasers rather than let us believe that Lovesey has returned to the delightful Sgt Cribb.
