Died in the Wool by Ngaio Marsh

3.0

I didn't care at all for her last book, so I was definitely pleased to see that her plot was a bit better in this one. Yes, it's another spy novel, and the spy angle is definitely overplayed. But the mystery was interesting and the spy angle didn't detract too much from it. And in this installment, Alleyn goes back to normal, or as normal as he can get considering he is away from home, tracking down spies, and trying to solve an 18 month old murder without his trusted sidekick. I'm just hoping that she exhausted this spy plot and she got back to writing Alleyn in a traditional British setting.
