When the exuberant president of Ng'ombwana proposes to dispense with the usual security arrangements on an official visit to London, his old schoolmate, Chief Superintendent Alleyn, is called in to persuade him otherwise. Consequently, on the night of the embassy's reception, the house and grounds are stiff with police.

One of the really good ones
Revisado: 09-09-24
This is one of the most enjoyable of Marsh's books. The themes are racism, African independence and the detective's marriage. There are puzzles to solve stories to be uncovered. Recommended.

It started as a student exercise, the knife under the drape, the model's pose chalked in place. But before Agatha Troy, artist and instructor, returns to the class, the pose has been re-enacted in earnest: the model is dead, fixed for ever in one of the most dramatic poses Troy has ever seen. It's a difficult case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. How can he believe that the woman he loves is a murderess? And yet no one can be above suspicion.

Excellent reading
Revisado: 06-02-24
Cumberbatch does a magnificent job of reading this Ngaio Marsh mystery. Every character is consistently rendered. Even minor characters who only appear briefly have their own distinct voice. The story is beautifully written like all of Marsh's work. This makes for very easy listening. I've listened to it perhaps 6 or 8 times over as many years. I highly recommend it.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

I love many of her books but this was just dull.
It was like those movies about the karate kid but 7 hours long.

In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most listeners, this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it appears. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where, at the most fundamental level, time disappears.

Good listen
Revisado: 06-24-18
Benedict Cumberbatch has a wonderful voice to listen to. More than that though, his reading supports the understanding of what is not an easy subject.

But Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn knew that something was up. He had already planted his friend Lord Robert Gospell at the scene. But someone else got there first...

Classic Ngaio Marsh
Revisado: 07-01-17
What about Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance did you like?
Benedict has a wonderful voice which he uses to bring all of the characters to life. It makes it so much easier to keep track of who everyone is.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listen to the whole thing in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
This is a classic with all the characters you've come to love. This book seems to take place immediately after An Artist In Crime and continues the romance between the detective and the painter he met in Fuji.
