Books Update: Queens Of Crime: Ngaio Marsh
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: From the Golden Age of crime fiction, we present seven mysteries by one of the ‘Queens Of Crime’, Ngaio Marsh, the New Zealand Dame who wrote of Inspector Alleyn in a series of novels from 1934 to 1982. She was passionate about the theatre and painting (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. Featured in this update are: Colour Scheme, Dead Water, False Scent, Off With His Head, Photo-Finish, Spinsters In Jeopardy and The Nursing Home Murder, all but one in an attractive Fontana cover style.
