Acerca de esta escucha

In Bloomsbury, London, Inspector Brook of Scotland Yard looks down at a dismal scene. The victim of a ruthless murder lies burnt beyond recognition, his possessions and papers destroyed by fire. But there is one strange, yet promising, lead - a lead which suggests the involvement of a skier.

Meanwhile, piercing sunshine beams down on the sparkling snow of the Austrian Alps, where a merry group of holidaymakers are heading towards Lech am Arlberg. Eight men and eight women take to the slopes, but as the CID scrambles to crack the perplexing case in Britain, the ski party is soon to become 16 suspects.

An interesting setting and tracking of the criminal

Ms. Carnac/ Lorac demonstrates excellent writing, as usual. I had only listened to the MacDonald books before, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I enjoyed Rivers as the primary investigator, as well. The skiing setting was very enjoyable and interesting, even to appealing to me as a non-skier. David Thorpe, as always, does an excellent job narrating.

post war London and a ski trip to Austria

When a murderer escapes London and hides in a ski group in Austria, Inspector Rivers tracks him down. This police procedural is beautifully voiced by Thorpe. I enjoyed the author's writing style and pacing. Highly recommended

Easiest on to follow

I liked the way the author broke up all the characters into small easily followed groups.
After struggling to reset my detective reading brain back several decades to enjoy this writing
style- this novel did it for me. I had tried several Lorac books and was so done with 'em
when I found this in my Not Started library.
Skiing not an interest so but I started and was
hooked rightcaway. Whew, I can read a few fine oldies so- if some of these seem to drag...
keep trying till.you fine the one that captures you. Thanks to the work of the British Library
staff and Audible. And I love the intro to each book that teachrs us the art of the slow 'tec novel.

Good old fashioned mystery.

Like Lorac’s books. Glad they are being put in Audible. Odd how cultural and social conditions are echoed today!

Old fashioned detective story

Cute story. Narrator good with men’s voices but women’s are horrible and screechy. Very off-putting.
Side note: IMHO Women narrators do better with men’s voices than vice versa

I’m in love

Absolutely wonderful. Engaging story, wonderful characters, great dialogue and I love the narrator as well. Even though there were many characters, I never felt lost about who was who, I didn’t find myself rewinding to catch what I missed because I had caught everything. Cornac does an amazing job at weaving in both the police side as well as the party side and then bringing them together.
I’ve been lost at sea searching for more mystery gems that are not Agatha Christie. Don’t get me wrong! I love Agatha and she will forever live in my heart as the undisputed Queen of the Mystery Novel, but I’ve listened to all of her books multiple times and I needed something new.
I’m already downloading another Carnac and I’m assuming by my glowing review you have already bought Crossed Skis so, go! Sit back, relax and enjoy!!
The introduction says this book has not been published since 1959 and that they are working on recording audiobooks of books like Crossed Skis that have been lost to time and all I can say is PLEASE keep it coming!!

Absolutely loved

Great crime classic, love the snowy setting. Having a ski group contain a murderer is just the best

Delicious Armchair Travel

Go to London and Vienna. Enjoy continental travel right after the 2nd World War and a ski trip in Austria. Sweet and believable characters and gorgeous settings, a solid murder with plenty of suspense.

Cozy mystery

I’m a fan of E.C.R Lorac so knew I would enjoy this. I’m an even bigger fan of David Thorpe. He did a good job as the narrator. I’m sure it was a challenge with so many characters but he hit the nail on the key ones.
