Description

Ngaio Marsh weaves a tapestry of intrigue and suspense in three compelling tales featuring her renowned detective, Inspector Alleyn. In "Overture to Death," the serene ambiance of a country fête harbors dark secrets, as a chilling murder disrupts the festivities. With a grand piano as the focal point, Alleyn must navigate the tangled web of motives and relationships to uncover the truth hidden beneath the surface.

"Death at the Bar" plunges the reader into the world of a seemingly innocuous tavern where a fatal game of darts leads to unexpected revelations and deadly consequences. Marsh's keen insights into human nature elevate the narrative, as Alleyn deftly unravels the connections among the patrons. Finally, "Final Curtain" brings a theatrical flourish to the series, as ambition and rivalry take center stage against a backdrop of murder. Each story showcases Marsh's signature blend of charm, wit, and clever plotting, leaving readers captivated until the last page.
