Picked up in a Molyneux(up the Wolves) goodybag, I do like classic crime so will add it to the tottering Mt TBR

Classic murder mystery involving a wierd sect, society heiress and numerous other stock characters. I found it very hard to read without see it as a TV drama! Will probably go to the next rugby meet-up or a local OBZ for release.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Hope you enjoy this one!

Thanks so much for this Millycat I am really looking forward to reading it, I love these old fashioned murder mysteries.

I can't help but love old Chief inspector Allen - and Inspector Fox. The dialogue between the two of them is often hilarious, and very sharp, as is some of Allen's sparring with his suspects. Ngaio Marsh was a really good crime writer, and this one has a rather unusual setting in the House of the sacred flame - what we today would probably call a religious cult. Her plots are full of detail allowing the reader to try and work it all out for themselves - but I generally find that pretty hard to do - because she is fiendishly clever.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Will be released at the Birmingham meet up, where if it doesn't find a new home it will be put onto the shelves toward the back of the shop.

If you have found this book, thank you for taking the time to look it up on the internet. Now please tell us what you thought of the book and what your plans for it are.

Picked up at the meet

I need an additional favourite crime writer like I need a hole in the head!

I believe this is the 4th in the series, written during the 1930s and therefore a contemporay of Agatha Christie.

The dialogue between Alleyn and Fox is witty (but I can see the potential to be annoying if it was the same in every book), and there's some implied world-awareness put into the book about the acolytes that got the message across without being too in-your-face about it ("I think the Greeks may have a word for them" being just one example).

Anyway, cant believe that I've got this far without reading Ngaio Marsh books before, and need to keep an eye out for more!
