Last Ditch (Abridged) Audiobook

" Last Ditch is a solid mystery in Marsh's usual Golden Age style. It's a little funny to see that style translated to the 1970s (this is one of her later novels), as Marsh describes things like leisure suits and heroin smuggling in a manner better suited to country houses and parlour maids. "

" It was very interesting to meet little Ricky all grown up. And, like his mother so often did, dragging Alleyn accidentally into a case of murder. "

" Not one of her best, only to be read by fans, but interesting to see how someone who started publishing in the 1930s dealt with the 1970s. "

" I prefer the Inspector Alleyn mysteries set a bit earlier in time; the 1970s isn't my favorite time setting. I did enjoy Ricky, Alleyn's grown son, and the plot was interesting. "

" Rory's son takes center stage. "

" I like the way the same characters or relatives of characters are woven into these stories "

" I feel badly. I love Alleyn and Troy and I just don't care at all about their kid.... "

" I'd been avoiding Marsh, since she's always compared to Agatha Christie and I HATE Agatha Christie, but this was good! More believable characters and everyday humor. "

" One of my favorites of the series. "
