A spa stay turns into a homicidal holiday.... A bit snobbish and a trifle high strung, Sybil Foster prides herself on owning the finest estate in Upper Quintern and hiring the best gardener.
In fact she is rapturous over the new asparagus beds when a visit from her unwelcome stepson sends her scurrying to a chic spa for a rest cure, a liaison with the spa's director...and an apparent suicide.
Her autopsy holds one surprise, a secret drawer a second. And Inspector Roderick Alleyn, CID, digging about Upper Quintern, may unearth still a third...deeply buried motive for murder.

Great story, distracting narration
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Inspector Alleyn and his sidekick “Br’er Fox” were highly entertaining, deductive, and intuitive. Marsh’s characters are well developed and her plot well developed. You won’t be sorry you read her.
Everyone picks on narrators, and usually it’s just a matter of taste. With this one, her voice for the men is a little high, but after I got into the story it was easy to overlook. The pace of the reading and the phrasing was good.
Well Plotted (pun intended)
