A review by annarella
Money in the Morgue by Ngaio Marsh, Stella Duffy
4.0
I was very excited to read a new Ngaio Marsh novel as I loved her books
I found the book a bit slow with some exciting moments and some parts a bit slow.
I think it's hard to continue a book started by one of the Queens of Golden Age and, as a reader, I had high expectations.
The unusual setting and the claustrophobic atmosphere do not help but I can say I found the book entertaining and enjoyable.
The plot is full of twists and turns, with a great and unexpected solution.
I think it must be read with an open mind and without expecting the exact of copy of Ms Marsh style.
The general impression is that this could have been a great novella but it was turned in a novel.
It's recommended because it's entertaining even if not up to the usual Marsh standard.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
