False Scent Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This one was interesting in part because of the pace; practically the entire book takes place in 1 day, including Alleyn solving the mystery. Marsh writes about "theater people" in a way that makes the characters funny, yet individual. They are all certain "types," but not caricatures. A comment made in passing at the beginning of the book hinted who the murderer might be, but the resolution was still interesting. "

" Not one of her best, but still okay. "

" I was very very amused by this one. It was classic on EVERY level. There was nothing missed or left out to the point of utter silly giggling over it. I suspect Marsh of giggling herself when writing it. "

" I honestly did not figure this one out until the very end. I did wonder why Mary was so popular because the picture painted of her was not very flattering in my opinion. "

" Classic whodunnit, a murder in a locked room. You can see the murder weapon (and the victim) coming a mile away, but the murderer is a pretty surprise (well, to me anyway... I never try to second guess the author!) Dated, but good fun all the way through. "

" One thing Marsh does well is awful social embarrassment. The famous actress whose temperament has become unmanageable, whose selfishness is unchecked, is the focus of "False Scent". There is not enough here to make me love the story, but it is a strongly carried mystery. "

" Generally like Ngaio Marsh. This was good, but not the best of hers "

" It was in a 3-in-Book so I didn't know I had read it till I started listening. Good to repeat. "

" I really like some of the minor characters in this one, especially Octavius Browne. (Jan 2008) "

" Enjoyable murder mystery. It is always interesting to see how an author can arrange for someone to be murdered almost in public. "

" One of my favorites in this series. "

" She's damn good at suspense, but not psychology or procedure. This was a silly mystery. "

" Still reading my way through the Inspector Alleyn Books - I think this is the 19th one I've read, this one isn't among my favorites but still very good. "

" also listened to 5/11. read by James Saxon "

" One of the ones that I actually knew who did it before it happened. "

" This was a short but great one. "

" Fun escape on a Sunday afternoon, but fairly easy to figure out "whodunit" early on. "
