This serves as an excellent introduction to the range of Naigo Marsh's works, embracing her famous Superintendent Alleyn, her New Zealand homeland, advice and a script for Crown Court the 1970s TV series.

An intriguing miscellany.

I listened to this with interest. The foreword by Susan Howatch is very informative of Ngaio’s life. The stories are well written and conquer up a period of time long gone. They reflect the times they were written in and as she had a good life span they cover many years and changes. As it’s included with prime membership I would recommend this to all mystery fans.

Superb stories. The reader is dreadful and it’s such a disappointment because she sadly destroys all the nuances. I keep having to rewind-not good enough when the original writing was so good. How can such artistry end up sounding like the reader is reading the phone book?

I'm not familiar with the works if this author, I was just looking for a collection of crime short stories. Unfortunately, I found the stories very predictable and even boring on occasions. It is ok for background noise, but I would recommend not wasting your time if looking for engaging stories.
