Publisher's Summary:

A country house murder, artistic insight and the postwar reunion of Alleyn and Troy combine in Ngaio Marshs wittiest and most readable novel.

Agatha Troy, world-famous portrait painter, is inveigled into accepting a commission to paint the 70-year-old Sir Henry Ancred, Bart., the Grand Old Man of the stage. But just as she has completed her portrait, the old actor dies.

The dramatic circumstances of his death are such that Scotland Yard is called in - in the person of Troys long-absent husband, Chief Detective-Inspector Roderick Alleyn....

Critic Reviews:

"The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers." (Times Literary Supplement)

"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)

Members Reviews:

Classic crime - well done!

Alleyn returning from abroad is thrown straight into a case, involving his beloved wife Troy.

Reader thinks it a pantomime.

I couldn't make it beyond the second chapter, as the reader is so appalling. Every male is camp and every female sounds like a pantomime Dame.
