" It has been years and years since I read Ngaio Marsh and now I am wondering why I waited so long to pick up another one of her books. A very interesting, character-centric story of the London theatre with murder as a side-note. This book is not just for mystery lovers. "

" I really enjoyed this mystery book. The language was hard to follow at times, set in the early 1900's I believe, however you got used to it and became involved in the characters lives. This was another book I couldn't put down, although I will admit it took me a little while to really get into it. At first I thought it was a bit slow, but soon after I was hooked. "

" This book is another of Marsh's forays into the world of theater and quite good. So much of the book is NOT about the murder, but about theater, and it's an interesting peek behind the scenes, and makes for a nifty who-dunnit when it finally happens...or more accurately, a how dunnit, I guess. "

" One of my favourite books. The protagonist (while perhaps a little too good to be true) effortlessly captures sympathy, and her journey is marvellously complemented by a full cast of rich and vivid characters. "
