One of the greast!

I have been reading Ngaio Marsh's books since I was in my teens( I'm in my 50's). I have read all her books at least twice. I'm on my 3rd go around. I rank her up there with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers. When I need a pick up and a change from current mysteries, I go to my Ladies.

motives are antique but a good story

Inspector Allyn and team go after a 1930's murderer in a private hospital. Not Marsh's best plot but still a good yarn. Beautifully performed. Recommended.

Cover mystery and great narration

Though I liked o previous two books on the series a bit better, this one is still very clever and witty, of course. I liked that more of Inspector Alleyn’s personality is revealed. The narrator is very well suited to these books and the voice of the main character. I hope he is the narrator for the rest of the series. I have read the other three grand dames of the golden age of mystery writing, but not Ms. Marsh’s, for some reason. It is interesting that hers is the only series with a policeman as the main character. I am very much looking forward to reading/listening to the remainder of this author’s books.

Pretty good

One of the good ones. Interesting plot with murder set in operating theatre Nigel bathgate gets cameo otherwise amusing and worth the listen. Pre Troy so Roderick is solo.

Very injoyable

If you like old fashioned British Mysteries that have a great plot and are not too dark you will enjoy this comfortable listen. The narration was excellent moving the story along at a good pace. There were no fillers and it was just long enough for me not to become tired for the ending. I look forward to listening to another novel by mash with the same
Excellent narration.

Love it

Ngaio Marsh is a brilliant writer and her detective is a wonderful addition to my already large collection of favourite detectives

These are great classic books

The mystery is very clever in this book. The characters are terrific as well as the voices. I'm reading this whole series in order and really enjoying it.

Excellent Intrigue

Paying attention to the detail in this beautifully narrated Audible book was indeed a pleasure.
