Forget Christie & Sayers, Ngaio Marsh was the Crime Queen. - By: , 14 Oct 2001
Roderick Alleyn, the younger son of a Buckinghamshire family & the star of Ngaio Marsh's novels is the perfect English detective. A gentleman, intelligent & not afraid of his emotions. In "Artistsin Crime" he was introduced to painter Agatha Troy, & this novel sees their relationship develop. However, this is not a soppy romance set against a detecive background. Set during the London "season", society scandals endin blackmail & murder. As old friends are suffering can Alleyn find the culprits & get justice, avenging the late Robert "Bunchy" Gospel? Plotted to perfection, the murderer is well hidden enough to keep the readers guessing with out being completly unexpected. Marsh really was thye master of her craft.
