À propos de cet audio

The London season has begun. But while debutantes and chaperones plan their luncheons and balls a deadly blackmailer is stalking the highest echelons of society.

Naturally, it falls to charming, aloof Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn - son of Lady Alleyn - to investigate the case. He has already planted his close friend Lord Robert at the scene. But someone else got to him first....

Death in a White Tie was first published in 1938 and is perhaps the finest of Marsh's 1930s novels - elegantly constructed, witty and marvellously entertaining.

Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

the story was excellent. All the characters interesting. This one definitely gets the reader involved a little more emotionally. Narrator himself was fairly good the quality of the recording and the way it was stitched together was very poor. Some chapter seem to be louder than than others or seem like they're recorded in different years. This was such a good story and it deserves a really quality recording.

best Marsh so far.

No point reviewing a book written in 1938; it will go on with or without my opinion of it. But the sound in this recording is ridiculous. The first half sounds like it was recorded the year after the book was written by someone in his 70s. Then all of a sudden, about halfway through, the voice loses 10 years - to the point where it sounds like a different actor - and the sound is updated to at least 1980. Are they two different recordings cobbled together? Surely Audible can do better.

Good Ngaio Marsh; ridiculous sound
