Synopsis
In the movies, it’s known as a “meet cute.” But for Inspector Alleyn and Miss Agatha Troy, it’s more like irritation: On the ship back to England, she finds him tedious and dull; he thinks she’s a bohemian cliché. They may be destined for romance, but there’s a murder in the way: No sooner has Alleyn settled in to his mother’s house, eager for a relaxing end to his vacation, then he gets a call that a model has been stabbed at the artists’ community down the road. And the artistic Miss Troy is one of the community’s most prominent and outspoken members.

Seller: Magical Tortoise Books, College Park, GA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Good. Well-worn | clean | no inside marks. The cover shows wear, but the pages are clean and unmarked. When Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn boards a ship back to England after a long working trip abroad, the last thing he expects is to find himself drawn to a sharp-tongued, fiercely independent artist named Agatha Troy. She finds him stuffy; he finds her fascinating. It's not a promising start. Back on English soil, Alleyn hopes for a quiet end to his holiday at his mother's country home. That plan falls apart immediately when a model is found stabbed at the artists' colony just down the road ? the very community where Agatha Troy holds court as one of its most prominent members. Suddenly professional duty and personal entanglement are uncomfortably intertwined, as Alleyn must investigate a tight-knit group of artists, each with their own secrets, rivalries, and motives. Artists in Crime is notable as the book where the long-running romance between Alleyn and Troy begins ? a relationship that would carry through the rest of the series. Dame Ngaio Marsh, one of the celebrated "Queens of Crime" alongside Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, is at her witty, atmospheric best here, blending sharp social observation with a cleverly constructed puzzle. Ideal for fans of Golden Age British detective fiction and readers of Christie, Sayers, and Josephine Tey. Ships from Georgia, USA. Seller Inventory # EB-358130174280
