Clutch of Constables
By Ngaio MarshPublisher Description
A river cruise may be sunk by a ruthless criminal in this novel by “the doyenne of traditional mystery writers” (The New York Times).
Inspector Alleyn’s wife, the artist Agatha Troy, has a special fondness for Constables—the paintings, that is, not the policemen. So she jumps at the chance to take a river cruise through “Constable Country” in the east of England, in honor of the nineteenth-century master of landscapes. Her enthusiasm dims a little, though, when it becomes clear that the ticket became available at the last minute only because a previous passenger was murdered in his cabin . . .
“It’s time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.” —New York Magazine

“A well-crafted Alleyne mystery where most of the action is concerned with Troy and her experiences. I almost re-read immediately after finishing!”
