Good short stories, but I was so put off by the Dorothy Sayers shade in the forward that it tainted my enjoyment of the rest of the book.

I am late to the Ngaio Marsh fan club, but I am all in now. This was my first time reading a collection of her short stories. Quite delightful.

I do think that people who already know and enjoy Marsh’s writing will definitely want to read this collection. It could also serve as a nice introduction, both to her Inspector Alleyn and to her style.
