Publisher's Summary
The April Fool’s Day had been a roaring success for all, it seemed - except for poor Mr. Cartell, who had ended up in the ditch - forever. Then there was the case of Mr. Percival Pyke Period’s letter of condolence, sent before the body was found - not to mention the family squabbles.

"The audiobook would have been better if Saxon narrated"
The story was entertaining. The swallowing of the narrator was noticeable and a distraction, especially near the end.

"Poor Performance"
Ngaio Marsh, herself, clearly articulated how to pronounce Alleyn's name. She said it sounded like "Allen". The narrator kept pronouncing his name as "Allyen", which was irritating. He also used poor stage voices for key characters. Inspector Fox, for example, sounded like a female fairy rather than the gruff character written.

"Super narrator"
I've listened to all the Ngaio Marsh narrators and Mr Sinden is my favourite: especially his Inspector Fox.
