Enter a Murderer

De: Ngaio Marsh

Narrado por: James Saxon

The crime scene was the stage of the Unicorn Theatre, when a prop gun fired a very real bullet; the victim was an actor clawing his way to stardom using bribery instead of talent; and the suspects included two unwilling girlfriends and several relieved blackmail victims.

The stage is set for one of Roderick Alleyn's most baffling cases....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It’s all good Ngaio Marsh, and that is good enough to satisfy the most critical reader of detective stories." ( New York Times)

Good old fashioned mystery

I love the time period and the characters. The performance made me feel like I was back in time. Well done

The story

I liked the surprising ending. The narrator was really good, great range for the different characters

Fun mystery

The characters interacted well. The story moved smoothly, though the end was a tiny bit rushed

Terrific

Love the genre, love the author and great performance by the person reading the novel. Recommended.

The reader is perfect. Esp. the nuances of the women being actressy, when he is so funny.

The intricate story is good without there being very many heart-warming events or characters. But the reader is perfect. ESP. in the nuances of the women being ‘actressy,’ when he is so very funny.

great ending

The intrepid Scotland Yard inspector gets the murderer in the end, after numerous twists and turns. Great story beautifully read. Suspenseful. Recommended

Always a good read/listen

Naio Marsh’s mysteries are always well constructed and James Saxon’s voices fit the characters and are always suited to the context.

Sound issues

The book was good but the sound was horrible! It sounded at times as though it had been recorded decades ago in a a tin can. Every chapter had varying sound quality. It was quite irksome as I love all of the other Ngaio Marsh books I've listened to. Not sure why only this one had technical issues.

Excellent

I can't believe that I haven't listened to a Ngaio Marsh before. What a fool I've been! Her writing is almost as good as Dorothy L. Sayers. I can't wait to hear the rest of her books.

Not this Author's Best Work

While the performance was marvelous, this story wasn't as engaging as other stories of his.
