Description
A Shakespearean actor takes his final bow.Troy Alleyn, Inspector Roderick Alleyn's beautiful young wife, is engaged to paint a portrait of Sir Henry Ancred, famed Shakespearean actor and family patriarch, but she senses all is not well in the dreary castle of Ancreton. When old Henry is found dead after a suspicious dinner and an unfortunate family fracas, Troy enlists the impeccable aid of her husband to determine who among a cast of players would have a motive for murder-and the theatrical gift to carry it out.

Though Dorothy L. Sayers' books focus on amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey and Ngaio Marsh's novels feature Scotland Yard Inspector Roderick Alleyn, their Golden Age-era stories share similar writing styles, settings, and characters. And both detectives love independent-minded women: author Harriet Vane for Wimsey and painter Agatha Troy for Alleyn. -- Dawn Towery
Agatha Christie's fans will appreciate Ngaio Marsh, whose detective stories also belong to the Golden Age. Marsh's procedurals are nevertheless free of on-stage gore, violence, and nerve-wracking suspense, while the plots present satisfying intellectual puzzles. -- Katherine Johnson
Like the Golden Age mysteries of Ngaio Marsh, Malliet's stories use an aristocratic-like police detective with a sidekick to solve typical puzzle mysteries. The fast paced stories of both authors involve a closed circle of suspects and numerous red herring clues. These cozies are filled with eccentric characters. -- Merle Jacob
Loaded with wit and subtle humor, these authors offer readers complex plots and memorable characters in their satisfying mysteries. Both steep their entertaining stories in the vividly detailed worlds of their other passions - academia for Michael Innes and theater for Ngaio Marsh. -- Melissa Gray
Charles Todd writes mysteries set in the time period of Golden Age mystery stories, when Marsh lived, and Todd's creative development of character, clever puzzle mysteries, and vivid descriptions of settings around Britain will appeal to Marsh's modern fans. -- Katherine Johnson
Both authors feature Scotland Yard detectives with an interest in the arts, usually setting their mysteries against the backdrop of a specialized occupation. They employ a strong sense of place, serious but not grim atmosphere, steady pace, literary tone, and strong secondary characters. James's other books will also appeal to Marsh's fans. -- Katherine Johnson
