Product Description

From AudioFile

When a British blue blood living in the pastoral village of Swevenings is brutally murdered, no one is spared examination by Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn. Nadia May lovingly brings to life a myriad of characters--Lady Lacklander's aristocratic conceit; her son's sniveling weakness; Nurse Kettle's common, busybody caring; and Inspector Alleyn's no-nonsense, logical, yet compassionate, crispness. May reads clearly, fully develops Marsh's characters and effectively builds suspense. Her lovely British voice offers a delightful rendering of Marsh's finely crafted classic. J.H.B.

Product Description

A country Eden blooms with murder

Swevenings village is pretty as a picture, but its secrets are ugly; and its gentry dread the publication of Sir Harold Lacklander's memoirs. When one of them is murdered, Inspector Roderick Alleyn's investigation takes him through petty vendettas, an ex-commander's blend of whiskey and archery, and cocktails on the lawn with a femme fatale. But the motive he's angling for lies even deeper than the trout stream beneath the rustic bridge...

This review is from: Scales of Justice (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoy Marsh's mysteries, and this one was no exception, in that there was a clever plot with a really devious method of committing murder. However, the characters in this book were not as compelling to me as ones from previous books (_When in Rome_, _Death in a White Tie_, etc.). Still, a very enjoyable read, and a great way to pass the time.
