Critic reviews

"It’s all good Ngaio Marsh, and that is good enough to satisfy the most critical reader of detective stories." ( New York Times)

Good old fashioned mystery

I love the time period and the characters. The performance made me feel like I was back in time. Well done

The story

I liked the surprising ending. The narrator was really good, great range for the different characters

Fun mystery

The characters interacted well. The story moved smoothly, though the end was a tiny bit rushed

Terrific

Love the genre, love the author and great performance by the person reading the novel. Recommended.

The reader is perfect. Esp. the nuances of the women being actressy, when he is so funny.

The intricate story is good without there being very many heart-warming events or characters. But the reader is perfect. ESP. in the nuances of the women being ‘actressy,’ when he is so very funny.
