This serves as an excellent introduction to the range of Naigo Marsh's works, embracing her famous Superintendent Alleyn, her New Zealand homeland, advice and a script for Crown Court the 1970s TV series.

An intriguing miscellany.

I'm not familiar with the works if this author, I was just looking for a collection of crime short stories. Unfortunately, I found the stories very predictable and even boring on occasions. It is ok for background noise, but I would recommend not wasting your time if looking for engaging stories.

Slightly disappointing

Excellent

I listened to this with interest. The foreword by Susan Howatch is very informative of Ngaio’s life. The stories are well written and conquer up a period of time long gone. They reflect the times they were written in and as she had a good life span they cover many years and changes. As it’s included with prime membership I would recommend this to all mystery fans.
