Death in a White Tie Audiobook (Unabridged)

" ( Morte de Gravata Branca ) "

" What a joy to rediscover Ngaio Marsh and her detective, Roderick Alleyn. Sharp wit, decent plotting, and good character studies make these old books true classics of the genre. "

" A great audiobook - abridged, of course. Read by Benedict Cumberbatch, who does a fantastic (and sometimes hilarious) job with all the voices. I can't say it was the most amazing mystery ever, but a fun romp in the Gentleman Detective genre. "

" Beautifully mastered mystery. spoiler..... this is the one where Troy accepts Rory. "

" Sometimes you read what you've got because you've got it. "

" A marvelous foray by Marsh into the haute monde of 1930's London. "

" Death In A White Tie (Roderick Alleyn Mysteries) by Ngaio Marsh (1997) "

" Lovely characterisation, good plot, enough of a mystery to be interesting but not too much that you felt burdened with it. Unlike the last Ngaio Marsh I read, I didn't feel weighed down with needless details. Some lovely moments, and the added bonus of including Troy. "

" I quite enjoyed this book, but I found the mystery itself a bit more muddled than normal for Ngaio Marsh. "

" Ngaio is often compared to Agatha Christie, but I find her more detailed and in some ways a better writer. This book reflects the English upper class life of the '30s woven in a very good mystery. Lots of fun to read! "

" This is a good one. The story is engrossing and the love angle is veddy briddish. Some things tied together a little too easily but the central mystery held together. "

" 7th in series. 1938. Typical Golden Age of Mystery story with Ms. Marsh's touch. Lovely character development of Roderick Alleyn. A verfy good addition to the series. "

" Not the best mystery I've ever read -- was disappointed by the victim chosen, as she allowed the reader to get a little too attached to him -- but I liked Detective Alleyn, his mother, and the time period in which it was set. "
