Description

Considered one of the “Queens of Crime” — along with such greats as Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and Margery Allingham — Ngaio Marsh (1895–1982) was a gifted writer and a celebrated author of classic British detective fiction, as well as a successful theatre director. Best known for the 32 detective novels she published between 1934 and 1982, she received the Order of the British Empire in 1948 and was made a Dame of the British Empire (DBE) in 1966. Based on years of original research by the curator of the Ngaio Marsh House in Christchurch, New Zealand, this book explores the fascinating literary world of Dame Ngaio.

Author Biography:

Bruce Harding is the curator of the Ngaio Marsh House in New Zealand and a senior fellow in the English department at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. Series Editor Elizabeth Foxwell, an Agatha Award winner, is managing editor of Clues: A Journal of Detection.
