Read in October, 2007
I own every single book ever published by Agatha Christie (including two copies of her autobiography), but after a while reading the same books over and over started to get boring. One remembers the plots quite easily. Ngaio Marsh is more in the same vein, but with snappier dialogue and without the irritating love of ellipses that tends to overwhelm a few of Ms. Christie's more disturbing murder mysteries. Great fun all around, although neither has anything on Dorothy Sayers...

Read in September, 2008
It had been a long time since I listened to an Inspector Alleyn mystery. Ngaio Marsh rates right up there with the other great women of mystery - Christie and Allingham.
It took me awhile to get into this book - there was a long lead in to the mystery, but Alleyn came through and solved the crime. I will be getting another audiobook by Marsh soon.
