"A Wreath for Rivera by Ngaio Marsh (1998) "
" I never have liked Marsh's famous detective Roderick Alleyn. I think he is such a snob. "

Ngaio Marsh (1895–1982), born in New Zealand, wrote over thirty detective novels. Many of her stories had theatrical settings, as her real passion was for the theater. She was both an actress and a producer and almost single-handedly revived the New Zealand public’s interest in live theater. In 1966 she was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
