Review

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

Product Description

Commemorating 75 years since the Empress of Crime’s first book, the ninth volume in a set of omnibus editions presenting the complete run of 32 Inspector Alleyn mysteries.

CLUTCH OF CONSTABLES
According to Chief Superintendent Roderick Alleyn, 'the Jampot' is an international crook who regards murder as 'tiresome and regrettable necessities'. But Alleyn's wife Troy has shared close quarters with the Jampot on a pleasure cruise along the peaceful rivers of 'Constable country' and knows something is badly wrong even before the two murders on board…

WHEN IN ROME
When their guide disappears mysteriously in the depths of a Roman Basilica, the members of Sebastian Mailer's tour group seem strangely unperturbed. But when a body is discovered in an Etruscan sarcophagus, Superintendent Alleyn, in Rome on the trail of an international drug racket, is very much concerned…

TIED UP IN TINSEL
When a much disliked visiting servant disappears without trace after playing Santa Claus, foul play is at once suspected - only suspicion falls not on the staff but on the unimpeachably respectable guests. When Superintendent Roderick Alleyn returns unexpectedly from a trip overseas, it is to find his beloved wife in the thick of an intriguing mystery…

Excellent Reading 23 April 2008
Format:Paperback
Absolutely fantastic. There were parts of this book that made me laugh out loud; the dénouement was very satisfying though I had worked out WHO did it, I was still at a loss as to WHY and HOW right up to the very last page.

By Clive A. H. Still TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
Although published in 1972, this story has a much older "country house mystery" feel to it. Hilary Bill-Tasman lives in splendour at Halberds Manor with a large staff, all of whom have served time for murder. As they had all killed in response to a one-off situation, they are not now considered to be dangerous. A house party assembles, one of the party being Agatha Troy, wife of the Scotland Yard detective, Roderick Alleyn. Colonel Forrester's batman, Moult, disappears and foul play is rightly suspected.

This is a traditional tale with a series of fairly laid clues and not too many red herrings and would be a good introduction to Ngaio Marsh's detective series.

Mystifing mysteries 25 April 2012
By Yunchi
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent group of stories with clever twists in each of them. It is difficult to work out the final results though the clues are there if you look carefully. A satisfying and intriguing read.
