About this listen

 It was planned as an act of charity: a new piano for the parish hall, an amusing play to finance the gift. But its execution was doomed when Miss Campanula sat down to play. A chord was struck, a shot rang out and Miss Campanula was dead. A case of sinister infatuation for the brilliant Chief Detective-Inspector Alleyn.©1939 Ngaio Marsh Classics Crime Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime

I have previously returned Ngaio Marsh books because if the poor pronunciation of Alleyn's name. Anton Lesser reads this book superbly. Very enjoyable.

Gentle whodunnit, expertly read

Why has SO much been cut out? It’s almost nonsensical. Excellent narration wasted. Don’t waste a credit on this.

Ridiculously abridged
