Spinsters in Jeopardy Audiobook

" Better than several other of hers I've read, and slightly less bad on the spinster issue than most. "

" This is one of the latest (in terms of publication order) Ngaio Marsh mysteries I've read, and I guess she was trying to branch out. Rather than the typical English countryside, personally motivated murder I'm used to from her, this involves drugs and a cult! In France! It was amusing in a rather ridiculous way, but mostly I give it three stars because of its title. Spinsters in Jeopardy!!! Awesome. "

" A book to be loved and relished, Spinsters in Jeopardy is Dame Marsh at her best, with everything from witches and lovers to human sacrifice and duplicity. Couldn't put it down, and wanted so much more when it was over... "

" A very disappointing book--not up to the usual Marsh standards. "

" Beautifully read by Nadia May. Some great descriptions of the Mediterranean (an aggressive, laundry blue) and some really silly plot twists due to reefer madness. A stable of stock characters, but we likes them that way, don't we, precious? "

" First of her books I've read--Loved the details of family life with little Ricky. The storyline was a bit far-fetched, but an enjoyable adventure if you just go with it. "

" Spinsters in Jeopardy by Ngaio Marsh (1998) "

" Interesting conceit, but I found myself getting increasingly annoyed by Marsh's classism and racism. Also she overuses the word "ejaculate." "

" Interesting for the European setting and to see more of Roderick's son Ricky but overall disappointing. Not one of her best. "

" Skip it. Read another of Marsh's instead. "

" I'll definitely be reading more of her. :) "

" I especially loved the depiction of Alleyn & Troy's marriage - companionable, healthy, loving. Extremely enjoyable. "

" Another great Roderick Alleyn mystery, complete with his family along for the ride. Very sinister--60's era satanic drug and sex cult on the Mediterranean infiltrated by Alleyn and a very down to earth French chauffeur. Complete with kidnapping and murder as well--a great read/listen. "

" A terrible affair, this novel. Not very interesting; in fact, bordering on quite dull. The characters are empty; didn't enjoy Troy or that annoying son of Alleyn and Troy's Ricky. Struggled to the finish line. Probably not her best. "

" Gets a five for the title and the loopy French heroin cult theme... "

" 3.5 Loved the Provence setting and italianate (sp?) characters. "

" Enjoyable, if only for the awesome title! "

" Not my favorite Alleyn mystery. Set in France. Troy & Alleyn witness a crime from their train windows. Plot concerns the drug trade and doesn't really age well. "

" Not one of her best, and no mention of the theatre, but a pleasant way to spend an evening. A thriller rather than a mystery, with an important role played by an attractive six-year-old. "
