Killer Dolphin: Inspector Roderick Alleyn #24 | Ngaio Marsh

2 posts | 5 read | 1 to read

The impresario Peregrine Jay has fulfilled a long-cherished dream: Thanks to a very generous gift, he now owns the Dolphin Theatre, and has restored it to its former glory. To celebrate the re-opening, a no-expenses-spared production of The Glove, a new play about the discovery of a true Shakespearean accessory. London’s chattering classes are abuzz with gossip about the theatre, rumors about Peregrine, critiques of the play. But when murder takes center-stage, everyone gets very quiet, and only Inspector Alleyn can persuade them to start chattering again – this time, with a purpose.

Death at the Dolphin | Ngaio Marsh

pick

I thoroughly enjoyed this classic murder mystery set in the theatre. A slow but engaging build-up as we meet the characters & intrigue is created with valuable relics & eccentric collectors. Alleyn is an elegant detective, the writing is beautiful, dialogue on point & the theatre world lovingly depicted. The murder comes late for modern reading tastes but I enjoyed being immersed in the world. The director‘s passion & actors‘ tantrums ring true.
