Spies and murders

I am definitely running out of things to say about Ngaio Marsh, but since I like her books, I expect that there are going to be a lot more short and sweet blog entries just cataloging the fact that I have read the book.

During World War II, Inspector Alleyn is in New Zealand ferreting out enemy spies when he gets sucked into the murder investigation of one of these possible agents.  The setting of the book at a run-down hotel at a hot spring in northern New Zealand is charming -- that is, if anything about a murder mystery should ever be considered charming.
