Ngaio Marsh does the British upper class mystery with flair
No one is more popular on London's champagne and caviar circuit than charming Lord Gospell. However, on the morning after the year's most glittering ball, someone finds a reason to asphyxiate "Bunchy" Gospell in a taxi headed across town. Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn is called in to find out who killed his old friend, and to cleverly unwind a tangle of murky secrets that began far from the ballroom floor.
I like this book. It had a good "feeling" of the 30's
Wonderful, as are all Ms. Marsh's books.

This copy replaces my old one that was coming apart. It's Ngaio Marsh at her best, an intricate mystery, a fascinating background, a cast of interesting and believable characters, very good writing; a book you can re-read even when you know exactly whodunit and how he gets found out.
