Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘In her ironic and witty hands the mystery novel can be civilized literature.’
NEW YORK TIMES
‘Ngaio Marsh is one of the detective novelists whose books I regularly re-read, always the test of a good detective story.’
P.D. JAMES
‘In the front rank of crime-story writers.’
THE TIMES
‘The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress.’
