Reviews

'Cruising through Constable country, in both senses, with a cargo of strongly varied, cunningly suspect characters... the classic detective story.' The Times 'A good Marsh... which puts it into the "must" category.' The Sun 'It's time to compare Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.' New York Magazine 'The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress.' The Sun
