Miss Pink #1-8
The Miss Pink Mysteries Books 1-8
In this 8 book box set:
BOOK 1: LADY WITH A COOL EYE
Bett Martin is found dead in her husband’s crashed Jaguar, at the foot of a cliff. At first, it’s assumed to be an accident or suicide. But Miss Pink is shrewd enough to uncover the truth.
BOOK 2: MISS PINK AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Miss Pink is on holiday when two climbers mysteriously die just off the Scottish coast. The police are ready to happily rule the deaths as accidents, so it’s up to Miss Pink to prove that both men were murdered. But can she crack the case?
BOOK 3: OVER THE SEA TO DEATH
At a little hotel nestled by a Scottish glen, professional guides and dedicated climbers gather — among them Mrs Pink. She has two murders to contend with, each ingeniously camouflaged. Reaching the solution will take all of her expertise on what makes people tick. And what pushes them to murder.
BOOK 4: A SHORT TIME TO LIVE
In a picturesque Lake District village, torrential rain causes a landslide, cutting the residents off from the rest of the world. Blackmail, conspiracy, kidnapping and murder soon follow. It’s up to Miss Pink to fit the pieces of the puzzle together.
BOOK 5: PERSONS UNKNOWN
Miss Pink is visiting a remote village on the Welsh coast to celebrate the birthday of her old friend, Roderick Bowen. But Roderick has just had a nasty fall, and he believes that someone is trying to kill him. Then there’s the mysterious death in a fire at the flamboyant Sandra Maitland’s house. Does Miss Pink have a murder to investigate . . . ?
BOOK 6: DIE LIKE A DOG
In Snowdonia, Richard Judson is infuriating the locals by allowing his vicious Alsatian guard dogs to run loose. First, one of the dogs disappears, and then Judson himself vanishes. Miss Pink decides it’s time she did some detective work and crack this canine catastrophe.
BOOK 7: LAST CHANCE COUNTRY
The intrepid Miss Pink is on her way to the remote estate of millionaire Jack Nielsen. Far from relaxing, she is soon investigating some very puzzling murders — and all of Nielsen's family and staff are possible suspects.
BOOK 8: GRIZZLY TRAIL
Miss Pink is making her way through the Rockies to get to the Logan ranch in Cougar Canyon, where she plans to meet her friend. It’s tough going, not least when she meets a grizzly bear.

Definitely NOT what I expected
Really wasn't sure about this when I started the first story. Wasn't sure how this character was going to morph into a detective. But I pushed on and could see the workings of a sharp, analytical mind. Certainly drew my attention.
THEN, she is traipsing around USA. In search of a short acquaintance she met in England, who, due to her mixed parentage and love of climbing and life in general, suggested Miss Pink would enjoy the country. Due to a bad attack of arthritis, Miss Pink was looking for a dry heat where English was spoken and off she went.
Jaunting across the countryside, doing safe climbing and camping, landed her in strange places, with even stranger mysteries.
Gwen brings her characters to life, without long protracted descriptions. You can see them through her colourful descriptions. Completely took me by surprise and I, joyfully continued to follow Miss Pink and her myriad of acquaintances from story to story.
Will, happily, continue to follow this author and her delightfully astounding stories.

Murder in Many Forms
Similar in ways to the tv show Murder She Wrote with the actress Angela Lansbury. A English climber woman who writes Gothic novels always seems to find herself locating the dead body and ends up helping solve the murders. Each story was unique, with new exciting locations and devious villains. I wonder where our lead character Miss Melinda Pink will travel to next? The first books were situated in Wales area and the last two of these eight books was in the Rockies and desert of America's West.

Interesting murder series
I enjoyed this series as it was different, featuring a mature age but astute and active woman, set in different geographical areas that I’m unfamiliar with. A bit convoluted in parts, re whodunit, but enjoyable.
