Killer Dolphin (Roderick Alleyn Series #24)

by Ngaio Marsh

Overview

“Miss Marsh works her characteristic storyteller's magic with the elements of theater and suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews

The impresario Peregrine Jay has fulfilled a long-cherished dream: Thanks to a very generous gift, he now owns the Dolphin Theatre, and has restored it to its former glory. To celebrate the reopening, a no-expenses-spared production of The Glove, a new play about the discovery of a true Shakespearean accessory, is performed. London’s chattering classes are abuzz with gossip about the theatre, rumors about Peregrine, critiques of the play. But when murder takes center stage, everyone gets very quiet, and only Inspector Alleyn can persuade them to start chattering again—this time, with a purpose.

“Rich backstage atmosphere.” —The New York Times

Also published under the title Death at the Dolphin

Editorial Reviews

"It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." --New York Magazine
