    • 4/5
      I was convinced that I knew who the culprit was but was mistaken. Alleyn makes quick work of this case, solving it within 24 hours!
    • 3/5
      A small village in England, a couple of pedantic, fussy old men, a huge dog in heat. What better place for a murder?A satisfying mystery, with some amusement, some puzzle and some characters. I like to read Ngaio Marsh; she is reliable. Inspector Alleyn and his wife Troy are one of the few couples in mysteries which have a happy and stimulating marriage. My only disappointment was that the simpering, tittering character was not the one murdered.
    • 3/5
      A good workmanlike Alleyn mystery, with a character link to "Swing Brother Swing". However the sense of period is slightly askew. Marsh may talk of Beatniks but the sensibility of the characters is resolutely pre-war. However if you enjoy her mysteries you will enjoy this one, particularly the the character of the revolting gangster's moll, Moppet!
