When in Rome (Inspector Roderick Alleyn, 26) (Volume 26) - Softcover
Book 26 of 33: Inspectr Roderick Alleyn
Synopsis
It’s 1968 and Inspector Alleyn is in Rome assisting the Italian police in the investigation of an international drug-smuggling operation. The book references both la dolce vita and student protests, bringing Marsh into the 1960s, yet the murder Alleyn solves, committed within a closed group of tourists, is firmly rooted in tradition.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. In 1968 Ngaio Marsh took her own Roman holiday (in part to research Italian police procedures) and the change seems to have done her good: Both her British and U.S. agents believed When in Rome to be the finest novel in her "Inspector Alleyn" series. As is so often (and so satisfyingly) the case, the tale concerns a murder within a closed group-in this case, a group of tourists visiting what Marsh calls the "Basilica di San Tommaso," who find themselves fumbling into a complex web of blackmail and drug-smuggling. Adding some irresistible color are depictions of both La Dolce Vita (of which Marsh took a jaundiced view) and the student radicals of the day, whom she seems to have found somewhat more persuasive. All in all, a brilliant example of classic Golden Age plotting melded with a decidedly Space Age cast. Seller Inventory # LU-9781631940446
