Miss Pink series by Gwen Moffat (#7-9,11-13)
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 2.2 + 1.1 MB
Overview: Moffat began her writing career in the 1950s working for BBC radio, and published her autobiography in 1961. In the 1970s she started to write crime fiction, in particular the Miss Pink series featuring Melinda Pink, a middle aged magistrate and climber. Her last novel Gone Feral was written when she was in her 80s and Moffat currently reviews for the crime magazine Shots.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
Last Chance Country (#7)
Miss Pink, an intrepid and unconventional murder investigator, is on her way to the remote estate of millionaire Jack Nielsen.
She faces a hazardous journey alone, across the empty desert of Death Valley and through formidable mountain passes before reaching an animal sanctuary where pumas, bighorn sheep, eagles, rattlesnakes, and more are impartially protected. However, Miss Pink quickly finds that it's the people who could do with more protection...
Soon she is investigating a couple of very puzzling murders - with all of Nielsen's family and staff as possible suspects. The search for the solution takes her through sandstorm and snowstorm, and up into the mountains twice in pursuit of killers. For an elderly lady who has come to the desert on account of her arthritis, she doesn't do too badly.
Grizzly Trail (#8 )
Miss Pink is making her way through the Rockies alone in winter, with her jeep as base camp for her mountaineering assaults on the peaks.
It is tough going, not least when Miss Pink meets a grizzly bear, upright and threatening, ready to kill with the swipe of a paw.
In Cougar Canyon, she has come to the Logan ranch to join her friend Seale. The closest neighbours of the Logans are the Trotters who make an illicit living killing protected species of wildlife, and the Farrells who have a run-down ‘dude ranch’.
When corpses start to be found, can the killings really be blamed on the grizzly bears?
Snare (#9)
Miss Melinda Pink, renowned Scottish mystery writer, arrives at the sleepy Scottish village of Sgoradale, determined to finish her latest book amidst small-town peace and quiet. But she soon discovers some sinister undercurrents...
Local handyman, Ivar Campbell, regularly implies that he may be involved in espionage and intelligence work. Most of the villagers ignore this as lies and idle boasting. That is, until Ivar's wife leaves him, and his cottage is set on fire.
But when anonymous letters and hints of blackmail escalate to murder, Miss Pink is on the case. Using methods that might be considered questionable by police standards, she refuses to give up until all the secrets of this quiet lochside retreat are fully exposed.
Miss Pink has seen snares in action before, and she is well aware that in capable hands—and given a sharp twist—a snare can be turned into a noose…
Rage (#11)
Dorset Press’s best-selling travel writer, Timothy Argent, has disappeared while following an old wagon trail across America’s West. The last trace of Argent came in the form of a cryptic postcard to his publisher from Gabriel, California—“Romantic Ghost Town of the Wild West.”
As she investigates out in the foothills of the magnificent Sierras, Miss Pink discovers Crazy Mule Canyon - complete with a crazy recluse who prefers animals to people, and emphasises his points with a rifle. And it soon becomes clear that Argent seems to have left wreckage in his wake: a beautiful Algerian-English girl disappeared around the time Argent came through the ranch where she lived, and then the carcass of his baby blue jeep turns up.
As usual, bizarre clues and red herrings abound and, if Miss Pink is not careful, she too could fall prey to whatever force lurks out there in the wild...
The Raptor Zone (#12)
On the foggy coast of Oregon, where the precipitous mountains drop into the Pacific, the tiny community of Sundown perches between a wild ocean and a wilder hinterland.
In this seeming wilderness live a group of cultured people, who have evolved an urbane lifestyle that encompasses both gourmet food and a passion for the natural world. The worry over violence and substance abuse suffered by city dwellers is not for them. The only crime in Sundown is that of exploitation, as the local logging industry destroys the habitat of the spotted owl.
Living in this civilised enclave are several authors, most notably Lois Keller, the successful crime writer and, more regrettably, her husband Andy, a rather less successful screenwriter. And there is Boligard Sykes, the Hemingway lookalike who hasn’t published anything – yet – and the shadowy Gideon d’Eath, who is reputedly kind and ordinary but who produces weird adult comics that leave his sole distributor laughing all the way to the bank.
Then Andy Keller introduces his ‘assistant’ Gayleen, a girl with the looks of a Mexican beauty queen whose doll-like face conceals a personality of an altogether different nature. An introduction which demonstrates superbly Keller’s ability to put the cat among the pigeons. And his perverse sense of humour makes him attach a bumper sticker to his wife’s car: I LOVE SPOTTED OWLS. ROASTED.
When Miss Pink arrives in Sundown on the heels of Andy and Gayleen, she finds a volatile situation, barely contained by good manners. And some people have decided to take matters into their own hands. Raptors have begun to operate in the canyons between Cape Deception and Fin Whale Head, and not all of them are feathered...
Veronica's Sisters (#13)
Exploring a remote canyon in the wilds of New Mexico, Melinda Pink comes upon a rifle and recent human remains in an old cave dwelling.
She alerts the small community of Regis only to find that no one is missing. There was a recent suicide when the lovely but disturbed Veronica walked into the river – and a Mexican ranch hand made a discreet departure after the autopsy showed she was pregnant, but no locals are unaccounted for.
Intrigued, Miss Pink stays in Regis to uncover a world of dark secrets and darker suspicions: of marijuana gardens and brothels, frightened children, confused adults and others beyond the law.
A violent storm is the setting for a third death and the body is borne away on the flood waters of the Rio Grande. The end is quiet and terrible, and culminates in Miss Pink’s acceptance into the circle of Veronica’s sisters to join them in a conspiracy of silence.
