Pickpick

We‘ll call this a pick. I like how Alleyn and Bathgate sass each other while solving the mystery, and any Marsh story with a theatrical angle is bound to be of interest to me, no matter how small the angle.

As I am making my way through the Roderick Alleyn, this has probably been one of my favourites.

Mehso-so

The denouement was a little clichéd (the killer was obvious a miiiiiile away). But, I still enjoyed the detective's journey to the conclusion, and I liked Marsh's characterization a lot. I'll definitely give another one a shot.

Booksnchill My least favorite of the series- I like them more when they feature Agatha Troy. 7y

I have never read any Ngaio Marsh before, but I'm loving this one! Wondering why I've never gotten around to her. {Also wondering why they misspelled her name on the cover.} 😜
