Overture to Death By: Ngaio Marsh

Anything related to the theatre is a winner in my book...add an ingenious murder to the mix and you've definitely got my attention.  Marsh's ability to effortlessly plant seeds of doubt among every character without making it obvious is astonishing.  The ending is completely satisfying and all the clues are there and accounted for.  Roderick Alleyn's debonair bearing and unshakeable calm, coupled with Fox's sly nonchalance is a wonderful combination!
