Books Update: Queens Of Crime: Ngaio Marsh
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: From the Golden Age of crime fiction, we present four mysteries by one of the ‘Queens Of Crime’ (and the only non-British one), Ngaio Marsh, the New Zealand Dame who wrote of Inspector Roderick Alleyn, the gentleman detective, in a series of novels from 1934 to 1982. She was passionate about the theatre and art (she was also a Shakespearian producer) and these themes often appear in her work. Despite her nationality, the vast majority of her books are set in England and have a distinctive British air about them. Full details as always in our catalogue.
