About this title

Review:

"It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." --"New York "magazine

From the Back Cover:

THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES

Caroline made her usual dramatic entrance. 'Darlings!' she exclaimed. 'What's all this? Too exciting – and all for me!'

She picked up the scissors. Dimly-lit faces peered at the beautiful woman who stood with one arm raised, while a small fat man bent over the table. Suddenly Alleyn felt intolerably fearful – but at that moment Caroline cut the cord. Something enormous flashed down among them from the hidden heights and Allen's growing sense of horror became reality...

"Her work is nearly flawless as makes no odds, character, plot, wit, good writing and sound technique."
SUNDAY TIMES

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngalio Marsh stand out as an empress."
