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

At first it looked as if Sybil Foster had intentionally left the world: with two husbands dead, a daughter marrying the wrong man and – it later appeared – a debilitating disease, it was no wonder she took he own life.

But no-one believed she was the type – especially Chief Superintendent Roderick Alleyn. For the field was ripe with unfortunate engagements – one of them a very grave mistake.

"Splendid...intelligence, wit and sheer skill of storytelling."
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

"Marvellous...a really good book."
DAILY MAIL

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an express."
THE SUN
