I confess that I have never read Ngaio Marsh  and I should probably
explore some of his work. |
I will take Sayers or Tey over Christie as well.
As it happens, my current audiobook is a mystery (and historical fiction and political satire),
The Coroner's Lunch. I am about 2/3 through and I love it so far. I like a nice, sarcastic, world-weary main character.
My current text eBook is the second book of the Mongoliad series, which is an excellent historical adventure.
