My first Ngaio Marsh. I loved the writing - witty & elegant - and fun cast of characters. Great, satirical portrayals of characters who work in the theatre (the deep voices, command of space). And a married couple as protagonists - artist Agatha (Troy) & her police husband. It felt long to read, with the murder happening halfway through. Almost more of a comedy of manners than gripping mystery. I enjoyed it. Not sure about the cover though!
LeeRHarry That is a rather strange cover! 13mo
batsy OK, maybe I take back what I said about about all vintage mystery covers being great 😂 13mo
Abailliekaras @LeeRHarry @batsy I‘ve realised I don‘t want to see naked feet on my book covers 🤣 13mo
