	Amazon.com: False Scent: Books: Ngaio Marsh,James Saxon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Marsh is renowned for her skill at creating both memorable characters and settings, and she often gives her novels a theatrical background; it was world she knew well, and she digs her nails into every scrap of it.
		But Marsh's plots are not always the equal of her literary skill, and this is somewhat true of FALSE SCENT; although the novel is tremendous fun, a good many readers will spot the killer midway through the book.
		Ngaio Marsh's books appear to best advantage when performed rather than simply read (possibly her work as a playwright makes the dialogue specially effective that way).

		Marsh on the other hand, though her characters were supposed to be British, did not realistically convey her portrayal of the upper-class Ancred family from a native's perspectives.
		In this aspect, it was unfortunate for Marsh that she was a New Zealander and a first time reader like myself would conclude that was at least partially responsible for her characters not being genuinely British enough.
		Marsh never hesitates to let the real and messy emotions of her main characters from entering into the story.

		Ngaio Marsh, a died-in-the-wool New Zealander, wrote more than thirty polished, quintessentially English detective novels between 1934 and 1982, the year of her death.
		Marsh's talent was as varied as her heritage.
		Lively, acute, sympathetic, she paints a well balanced portrait of a woman leading a single life who was never alone nor lonely, an Edwardian who followed her muses in a thoroughly modern manner, and a writer who, while invincibly Colonial, celebrated England's Golden Age of mystery as royally as its other Queens of Crime.

	Mystery Guide - Death at the Bar by Ngaio Marsh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		gaio Marsh, despite her theatrical and artistic background, was one of the most low-key Golden Age writers.
		Also, she does not play strictly fair, since the motives of three of the suspects do not appear till the very end of the investigation and could not be extrapolated from the previous material.
		Marsh was clearly a masterful writer, in that the details of the crime are well conceived, and the characters are really shown to us rather than merely described; but I'd definitely have to put this book in the "respect but not love" category.

		However fearful the thought of murder may be, and however horrible it is in fact, murder does exercise a strange fascination over men's minds so that paradoxically they are quite ready to see it enacted on the stage or screen, or even to take part in a mock murder as a party game.
		In Final Curtain Ngaio Marsh's interest in drama and her knowledge of actors and their ways are given full play.
		In 1948 Ngaio Marsh was awarded an O.B.E. for services in connection with drama and literature in New Zealand.

	Golden Age Mysteries - Please convince me that Ngaio Marsh isn't awful: a plea
		So I've yet to read a Marsh I liked (if you except Final Curtain, but that was fifteen years ago and I would need to reread it to make sure that it wasn't a case of youthful enthusiasm).
		I'm giving Marsh one last chance to prove to me that she indeed deserves to have Christie compared to her or whatever it is the New York magazine said.
		And another thing about Marsh for me is......i found the English in her books is more difficult than many other English writer (especially in Light Thickens).

	Ngaio Marsh - Scales of Justice - First Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		With it Ngaio Marsh returns to the genre in its absolute form: detection arising equally from character, suspense and a set of extraordinary circumstances.
		It sounds harmless enough yet these are the ingredients which boil up into as pretty a hell-brew, as strange a murder and as ingenious a solution as ever graced the case-book of Mr.
		This book, with its particular tang of mounting tension, is in the tradition of Ngaio Marsh's other great detective stories, such as Surfeit of Lampreys, Artists in Crime and Death and the Dancing Footman.

		Unlike most of Marsh's Inspector Allen novels, A Clutch of Constables focuses primarily on his celebrated artist wife Troy, who has taken a spur of the moment river cruise only to find herself increasingly disturbed by mysterious goings-on during the voyage.
		The format of this Marsh mystery differed a bit, in that it cut back and forth between Inspector Alleyn teaching a class and the case that he actually uses as an example, which incidentally, involves his wife Troy.
		Troy decides to take a breather after her London art show and sees that there is a last minute cancellation on a mini-cruise.
