About the Author:
Dame Ngaio Marsh was born in New Zealand in 1895 and died in February 1982. She wrote over 30 detective novels and many of her stories have theatrical settings, for Ngaio Marsh's real passion was the theatre. She was both actress and producer and almost single-handedly revived the New Zealand public's interest in the theatre. It was for this work that she received what she called her 'damery' in 1966.
Review:
'Excellent Roman detailed background... a lively thriller whodunnit.' OBSERVER 'One of her best books for a long time... keeps us guessing most craftily.' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Superintendent Alleyn is as devastating as ever.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Blackmail and drug-dealing on the Tiber... Fastidious writing, telling character sketches, a fine appreciation of place.' SUNDAY TIMES 'I have no doubt at all that this is the best detective novel you have ever written. It has everything, and will go very far.' EDMUND CORK, Ngaio Marsh's literary agent
