Death in Ecstasy by Ngaio Marsh

3.0

Listened to it in installments while jogging in the evenings. Was an okay cozy mystery, not as great as I expected, as the author is Ngaio Marsh, one of my favorites. This deals with secret pagan Church societies, death of a rich woman during a ritual wherein she was supposed to be initiated as a novice, and who had willed her considerable fortune to the sect. The other 8 people who were with her when she died are the mains suspects, as it was an instantaneous death due to cyanide poisoning. The story slowly unravels to show the different suspects' lives and motives, and finally the killer evolves.
