Pretty good, although not up to the quite exceptional standards of the previous book in the series, "Black As He's Painted". Almost at the end of the series now - only 3 books to go. Marsh shows absolutely no sign of deteriorating with age - a striking contrast with the truly dire books which Agatha Christie wrote (and really shouldn't have) in her final years.

HarryT, Ngaio Marsh/Inspector Alleyn or Colin Dexter/Inspector Morse, since you've read both, which do you like best?
Are you familiar with Margery Allingham's books?
