Summary
Sir John Phillips, the Harley Street surgeon, and his beautiful nurse, Jane Harden, are almost too nervous to operate. The emergency case on the table before them is the Home Secretary - and they both have very good, personal reasons to wish him dead.
Within hours he does die, although the operation itself was a complete success, and Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn must find out why....

Typical yarn
Nevertheless still enjoyable. Didn't see the outcome.
This is an easy to listen to tale, which is good for destressing.

Dull and boring
I was surprised that this book was as bad as it was, as I know Ngaio Marsh to be a good crime writer. I could not finish it.

An elegant medical murder
Beautifully plotted, filled with interesting characters and topics of the day in the mid ‘30ies like anarchists, bolsheviks, and eugenics.
Wonderfully performed.

Golden Age story, well read
An excellent example of the Golden Age detective story, effectively read by an equally excellent actor

a more sympathetic narrator
I loved reading the Ngaio Marsh Alleyn novels when I was a teenager in the 1980s, but I have hitherto found the narrators for the unabridged recordings unsympathetic. So I was pleased to discover this recording with Philip Franks who can read Golden Age crime novels without sounding contemptuous Galloped though it in a day. The earlier novels are more dated but a good narrator can overcome that with a good performance.

Comfort Reading
Excellent tale, well crafted, with a children’s story book feel to some of the dialogue, though none the worse for it. Well defined characters, and a nicely paced plot made it a great listen. The narrator did a great job too. I’ll be looking for more!

Simply sublime.
Beautifully constructed and written, as always, by one of the very best of the Queens of crime fiction. Marsh's novels, while of their time and dating marginally less favourably in respect of their social mores than Christie and Allingham, are indisputably brilliant in their authorship. Alleyn is a superb creation, as is Fox, both of whom bring every single novel to vivid and thrilling life.
