Death in Ecstasy by Ngaio Marsh

3.0

So often, with Marsh's books, I just keep waiting for Alleyn to arrive: I always feel more comfortable when he enters the plot. Happiky, this one starts with another familiar character, Nigel, and brings Alleyn in almost immediately. From there, it's just a good Ngaio Marsh book. I think some reviewers are bothered by her dialogue, but I'm perfectly happy with it as a certain kind of "modern" talk in the 30s. Just let it wash over you: it's very pleasant to the "ear."
