Inspector Alleyn in Rome on an international drug case. Very good characters! Drugs, blackmail, murder and more! Very enjoyable!
Ngaio Marsh is the Agatha Christie of New Zealand.
a silly, fun mystery set in rome.
For characterization, detail and powerful writing, I'll take Marsh over Christie!
The exclusive guided tour promised a view of Rome's ancient splendors and today's dolce vita. But--in a subterranean grotto of Mithraic sacrifice--one of the party vanished, and Inspector Roderick Alleyn's holiday was over.
