Product Description

Review

'The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers' Times Literary Supplement 'Ngaio Marsh's Death in a White Tie is the best detective story I have ever read...' Dashiell Hammett '[This book has] a distinction that puts the author in the front rank of crime story writers' Times Literary Supplement 'A brilliant, vivacious teller of detective novels.' News Chronicle 'The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress.' The Sun


Product Description

A body in the back of a taxi begins an elegantly constructed mystery, perhaps the finest of Marsh's 1930s novels. The season had begun. Debutantes and chaperones were planning their luncheons, teas, dinners, balls. And the blackmailer was planning his strategies, stalking his next victim. But Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn knew that something was up. He had already planted his friend Lord Robert Gospell at the scene. But someone else got there first...

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget Christie & Sayers, Ngaio Marsh was the Crime Queen., 14 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Roderick Alleyn, the younger son of a Buckinghamshire family and the star of Ngaio Marsh's novels is the perfect English detective. A gentleman, intelligent and not afraid of his emotions. In "Artists in Crime" he was introduced to painter Agatha Troy, and this novel sees their relationship develop. However, this is not a soppy romance set against a detecive background. Set during the London "season", society scandals end in blackmail and murder. As old friends are suffering can Alleyn find the culprits and get justice, avenging the late Robert "Bunchy" Gospel? Plotted to perfection, the murderer is well hidden enough to keep the readers guessing with out being completly unexpected. Marsh really was thye master of her craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Ngaio Marsh I have read, 1 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Death in a White Tie (The Alleyn Mysteries) (Paperback)
This book is a must have for readers of Crime fiction. There is an excellent plot that has you either loving or hating the charaters in her web of death and lies. Roderick Allyen and Brer Fox are shown to work tierlessly to solve the murder of one of Alleyn's oldest friend and the clues lead... well its too good to give the game away Read this for yourself!
