About this listen
Maurice Questing was left to die in a pool of boiling mud. Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn knew that any number of people could have killed him: the English exiles he'd hated, the New Zealanders he'd despised or the Maoris he'd insulted. Even the spies he'd thwarted - if he wasn't a spy himself.
©1943 Original Text of 1943 by Ngaio Marsh (P)2015 Hachette AudioCritic Reviews
"The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers." ( Times Literary Supplement)
"Nobody begins to touch Ngaio Marsh’s skill at creating corpses and suspects...her dialogue is a continuous delight." ( New York Herald Tribune)
"The queen of the straight crime novel - long may she reign!" ( Sunday Times)
As a Kiwi I was incensed that the narration was by an Englishman whose supposed Kiwi accent is Australian. I could not listen to it! There are many Kiwi actors who would have made authentic narrators.
Excruciating!
