About this listen

One of Ngaio Marsh’s most famous murder mysteries, which introduces Inspector Alleyn to his future wife, the irrepressible Agatha Troy.

It started as a student exercise, the knife under the drape, the model’s pose chalked in place. But before Agatha Troy, artist and instructor, returns to the class, the pose has been reenacted in earnest: the model is dead, fixed forever in one of the most dramatic poses Troy has ever seen.

It’s a difficult case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. How can he believe that the woman he loves is a murderess? And yet no one can be above suspicion....

couldn't stop listening

the character is in the story really bring extra depth. Appreciate in the development of the relationship between Nigel and Roderick and Fox. the narration was excellent. The introduction of Troy was well done. I thought I saw the end coming. I was pretty sure that I was right and at the end I was wrong.
