"Nadia May's British accent and soprano voice perfectly capture Marsh's narrative. Her portrayal of the bizarre cast of characters is superb." AudioFile
Beautiful Troy Alleyn, artist wife of Inspector Alleyn, had been warned about the famed old Shakespearean actorand his eccentric household. But she was not prepared for their acts of malice and mischief.
Now Sir Henry was dead, after a large and lethal birthday dinner of champagne and crayfishand after changing his will in favor of his glamorous young fiance. And Troy was suddenly star witness in one of her husbands most sensational cases to determine which of the flamboyant characters brought down the final curtain, and turned a drawing room farce into tragedy.
Anyone who has read a Ngaio Marsh mystery is likely to agree with New York Magazines Dilys Winn who said, Its time to compare Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.
