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
