About this listen

Murder, blackmail and drug dealing on the Tiber combine in one of Ngaio Marsh’s liveliest and most evocative novels.

When their guide disappears mysteriously in the depths of a Roman basilica, the members of Mr. Sebastian Mailer’s tour group seem strangely unperturbed. But when a body is discovered in an Etruscan sarcophagus, Superintendent Alleyn, in Rome incognito on the trail of an international drug racket, is very much concerned....

Critic Reviews

"The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers." ( Times Literary Supplement)
"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)

Along with a few others, including "Last Ditch", and, memory bally serving, "Clutch Of Constables", this is HQ-transfer analog-to-digital. On the other side of the spectrum is "Death In White Tie", which audio-quality is on the level of a KISS bootleg concert-recording from the 10th Anniversary Tour 1983

This is one of Audible's HQ ("HD" to wit) Ngaio Marsh transfers
