4.0 out of 5 stars A Surfeit of Lampreys, 3 Aug 2004
This review is from: Death of a Peer (Dead Letter Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't improve on the previous review - however I thought some Ngaio Marsh addicts should know that this book was previously released under the title A Surfeit of Lampreys; this might prevent duplicate purchases.

4.0 out of 5 stars a near-perfect Marsh, 5 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: A Surfeit of Lampreys (Paperback)
The Surfeit of Lampreys is a nearly "perfect" R. Alleyn mystery in that it is funny, engaging and has that flair of light humour and deep sentiment that is vintage Marsh. There is a dash of New Zealand, lots of aristocratic strutting and genuine fun in the slightly overdrawn portrait of poor gentility with no sense of responsibility. Still, those who live on glimpses of the detective's personal life will be dissappointed; no Troy in this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 6 April 2009
By D. Cooke "the reading teacher" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Surfeit of Lampreys (Paperback)
It's easy to see why Agatha Christie has survived in popularity while Ngaio Marsh has waned to a (relatively)few diehard fans. This book is perhaps the essence of all her work. Stereotypical characters and predictable behaviour with a few outlandish 'coincedences' to make the plot work. Her truly dreadful, patronising way of writing dialect adds nothing positive to the mix and the recurring theme of New Zealand is just plain boring.
