À propos de cet audio

Ngaio Marsh’s most popular novel begins when a young New Zealander’s first contact with the English gentry is the body of Lord Wutherford - with a meat skewer through the eye....

The Lampreys had plenty of charm - but no cash. They all knew they were peculiar - and rather gloried in it. The double and triple charades, for instance, with which they would entertain their guests - like rich but awful Uncle Gabriel, who was always such a bore. The Lampreys thought if they jollied him up he would bail them out - yet again.

Instead Uncle Gabriel met a violent end. And Chief Inspector Alleyn had to work our which of them killed him....

This is Ngaio Marsh at her best. Well developed characters and an intriguing and amusing plot that keeps the reader guessing. The end gets a bit convoluted but, as usual, Alleyn does a nice recap of everything in the order it happened.

Phillip Franks does a commendable job performing this book. His “Alleyn” and “Fox” are very similar to James Saxon’s which provides a nice continuity to the series.

Marsh at her best!
