Enter a Murderer Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I am enjoying Ngaio Marsh, despite some [slightly] racist elements. The tone is less serious than that of Dame Christie's but the mystery is just as fine. "

" It was ok. Nothing special. The murderer is pretty obvious from the beginning so there-s no real mystery. "

" Enjoyable brain candy. The series is growing on me, but it will never be more than just light fun. I'm good with that. "

" The language and attitudes of this book are very period and I found that off-putting for a while. The stage detail was well done and the actor characterizations sharp. I guessed the killer at the beginning but this is one of the Dames - good to get educated in the classics. "

" I love Inspector Alleyn, but that wasn't quite enough for me here. I don't enjoy theatrical settings, and I read this too close to another mystery set on an opera stage to really enjoy it. It was fine enough, just not to my taste. "

" Keeps you guessing until the end. "

" I always enjoy her mysteries of murder. "

" Barely three; clearly an early one. "

" Returning to the stage again, Dame Marsh weaves a tale of actors and actresses in jeopardy, falling sand bags, and the inimitable Roderick Alleyn to the rescue. This book cemented my love for Marsh. "

" 2nd in the Inspector Alleyn books. Great mystery. Really enjoyed the plot and great character development. "

" Definitely got on with this one better than the first one, although I'm still trying to get my head around the main character a bit, as he seems to swing from very smart to playing the fool. Now to finish Vintage Murder... "

" It's funny, I remembered a review my sister had made of this one (but not which book it belonged to) and when I read this, I wondered if it was the book, and it was. Alleyn is a bit different in this one. "

" Read over the course of a Sunday afternoon/evening. I find myself enjoying Marsh's Alleyn more and more. He has the wit of Poirot without the oddities. Nice way to spend a fall afternoon. "

" I've tried to read her multiple times but I just can't get into her novels. "

" Quick and fun mystery. :) "

" An improvement on the first Marsh -- she clearly flexes herself more freely in the world of theatre than that of upper class house parties. She exchanges drug fiends for Russian subversives -- which makes the plot slightly less silly. Unfortunately we still have to put up with Nigel Bathgate. "

" The first Ngaio Marsh mystery I've read- I really enjoyed it! "

" Rereading as a mental shorbet between two rather intense mysteries. "

" This was great! I'm very happy to have found a new old mystery writer. "

" Ngaio Marsh is a mystery writer with style, and in this early book she and Inspector Alleyn are in their element--the theatre. Her character sketches of the members of the theatre troupe are particularly fine. "

" This is one of Marsh's theatrical mysteries from early in her career. Not her best but Marsh is always a good read. "

" I liked it, just because it was Marsh and it took place in a theater and she does mysteries there so very well. "

" This was great! I'm very happy to have found a new old mystery writer. "

" Ngaio Marsh is a wonderful writer and while it was not written as historical fiction it certainly is considered that now. Not one of my favorites but very good. "

" This book by Ngaio Marsh, a classic mystery writer, is about a murder during a play at the Unicorn Theater in London. This book is very suspenseful, and has some action scenes. I believe this book needs more action, but it is still a book i like, and i would recommend to mystery fans. "

" similar in style to Agatha Christie....my favorite type of British mystery! "

" An improvement on the first Marsh -- she clearly flexes herself more freely in the world of theatre than that of upper class house parties. She exchanges drug fiends for Russian subversives -- which makes the plot slightly less silly. Unfortunately we still have to put up with Nigel Bathgate. "

" Excellent, although not my favorite of the ones set in a theater. "
