Early Ngaio Marsh
This is a 'duvet read' best listened to wrapped in that duvet with a cup of tea, a couple of rich tea biscuits and nothing else to do.

Alleyn without
Having spent most of the run through waiting for our hero to appear, I found I missed much of the detail. So, now I know whether or not he does appear, I will need to listen again to try to follow the clues properly.

Wrong stars
I tried to give an overall rating of 3 stars and five stars for the performance but it wouldn’t let me. The story is excruciating, mannered and boring. I kept waiting for the interminable stilted chat to wind up, but no such luck. The description of New Zealand was superb. If only she had stuck to that . Once more Ngaio Marsh shoehorns a convoluted unrealistic tale involving bizarre cutout characters into a New Zealand setting. The grotesque Inspector Alleyn fetches up on the North Island once again. Of course he does. Avoid at all costs.

Cracking good yarn
Ngaio Marsh is wonderfully observant of characters and emotions. I really enjoyed the narration by Nadia May of Colour Scheme. She achieves a great range of expression, accents and characters.

Disappointing villain...
Unusual to experience the urbane Alleyn in the wilds of New Zealand. Prefer his London and Norfolk investigations with fewer references to 'walking on pumice'. Clearly transferred from CD or tape so chapters aren't accurate, but the narration was pleasant

Good old fashioned crime!
I love Ngiao Marshs books. This is no exception. Overall the narration is good, but the reader just cannot do accents to save her life! She should give up trying and just use her own rather pleasant voice.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
This was my first Ngaio Marsh and I would definitely recommend it. The setting, characters and story were all superb. Narration was first class too.

New Zealand and the 5th column!
who knew that the empress of crime could write such a good spy novel, with our favourite Alleyn and a very sweet little romance thrown in, all centered around New Zealand? I enjoyed it immensely!

Unexpected Treat & beautifully narrated.
I very much enjoyed this - a cast of wildly eccentric & often endearing characters; and generally impressive narration, too.

Slow, slow, slow
A very slow story. Not one of Ms Marsh’s best. The plot was obvious, characters weak and I found it hard to sympathise with any of them.
