Just finished "Colour Scheme", the 12th book in the Inspector Alleyn series. Published in 1943, this book is set in New Zealand (Marsh's native country) and features secret agents, 5th columnists, and everything else one might expect in a story set (and written) in the middle of WWII. It's unusual in that Alleyn doesn't feature very heavily in it - or does he? You'll see what I mean when you read it.

I really enjoyed this one. Well up with Marsh's best, and with very interesting descriptions of Maori life and culture in it, too. Well worth a read.
