About this listen

The crime scene was the stage of the Unicorn Theatre, when a prop gun fired a very real bullet; the victim was an actor clawing his way to stardom using bribery instead of talent; and the suspects included two unwilling girlfriends and several relieved blackmail victims.

The stage is set for one of Roderick Alleyn's most baffling cases....

A charmingly histrionic murder plot set during a play. Filled with an enjoyable set of characters, a suave detective, a painfully honest sidekick, and a devious plot. Golden age whodunnit deliciousness!

Gorgeously performed!

The consistency of the whodunits and beauty of Marsh's language never fails to impress. Roderick Alleyn is one of the truly great detectives of crime fiction, especially with his trusted sidekick, Inspector Fox at his side. The inclusion of the intrepid young reporter Nigel Bathgate adds to the wonderfully comedic aspects of Ngaio Marsh's novels. Marsh's works are worthy of much broader readership. While "of their time", great penmanship and literary flair has no period and never bores. Enter a Murderer is a classic genre whodunit, read wonderfully by James Saxon as always.

Marsh does it again.
