Items related to Death in Ecstasy
Once again, Roderick Alleyn is on the case of a killer who plucked the life from the newest initiate of The House of the Sacred Flame, just as she was about to drink the sacrificial wine, being as it was laced with cyanide. In investigating her death he finds the High Priest and his followers are more enmeshed is the earthly passions of lust and jealousy than they would like to imagine. It may hail from the 'golden age' of the whodunit, but Ngaio Marsh's Death in Ecstasy contains enough of the dark secrets of a ritualistic cult and the hidden depths of London's drug world to satisfy the modern reader.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘A novelist of glittering accomplishment.’
Sunday Times
‘She writes better than Christie!’
New York Times
THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES
The poison was cyanide, slipped into the sacred wine of ecstasy just before it was presented to Miss Cara Quayne at the house of the Sacred Flame.
The victim was a deeply religious initiate. She was also a very beautiful woman, who provoked lust, jelousy, and murder...
“A novelist of glittering accomplishment”
SUNDAY 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.”
