A classic Ngaio Marsh novel in which a game of darts in an English pub has gruesome consequences.

At the Plume of Feathers in south Devon one midsummer evening, eight people are gathered together in the taproom. They are in the habit of playing darts, but on this occasion an experiment takes the place of the usual game - a fatal experiment which calls for investigation.

A distinguished painter, a celebrated actor, a woman graduate, a plump lady from County Clare, and a Devonshire farmer all play their parts in the unravelling of the problem....

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Full marks...a really clever problem in detection. It will need a really sharp brain to discover the criminal." ( Times Literary Supplement)
"Read just one of Ngaio Marsh’s novels and you’ve got to read them all...." ( Daily Mail)
"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress." ( The Sun)

Not as convoluted and long winded as some,. I like the stories full of red herrings. I listen whilst I work so the more tedious, in a good way, the better. This story was fairly direct and to the point.

Another great Marsh story.

A bit slow to get started (until the murder then arrival of Alleyn) but turned out to be a very fine traditional detective novel. In my opinion, the characters are not as well developed as in other Ngaio Marsh Inspector Alleyn novels but even so the plot was excellent - twisty without being over complicated. A very good listen but not my favourite Ngaio Marsh - however she sets the bar very high! The narration by James Saxon was excellent as always.

This story creeps up on you. At first, I found it rather boring, and my mind kept wandering. However, as soon as the murder happened, it became very interesting and I listened 'with all my ears'. I can't usually solve detective stories, but I do seem to be able to solve the ones written by this author, and once again I had worked out the solution well before the end. I think Ngaio Marsh is generous with her clues :) The book ended very abruptly, almost mid sentence, which was strange.

Abrupt end

Marsh is brilliant at evoking atmosphere and place and her characters are excellent. In some the attitudes of the writer and some of her characters towards the mentally ill, the old, the unattractive or minorities are unsympathetic if not sometimes cruel, but one ends up forgiving her for the excellent of her writing and the story. Superb narration makes all the difference

full of wonderful characters, brilliantly narrated
