5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Marsh, 25 Aug 2009

By	Lesley Cookman (Kent UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scales of Justice (Audio CD)

One of my favourite Ngaio Marsh novels. The "rampant snobbery" is no more obvious in this book than in most of the other Roderick Alleyn stories, where he is constantly mistaken by his upper class suspects as "one of themselves" and the more earthy Inspector Fox perceived as the lower class norm of policing in the Marsh landscape. It was of the period, and Alleyn, although an actual policeman, followed in the footsteps and the tradition of Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scales of Justice, 7 Aug 2008

By	Rich (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scales of Justice (The Alleyn Mysteries) (Paperback)

Decent mystery ruined by rampant snobbery. It quickly becomes obvious who the killer will be. The author raises some interesting ideas about the difference between the classes but the notion that the actions of those who are deemed the right sort of people impact negatively on those who aren't is not fully held up to scrutiny.
