Description
This novel of murder and espionage in World War II New Zealand is "e;an exquisite reminder of the brilliance of Marsh's London detective"e; (The Guardian).Inspector Roderick Alleyn just wants to write a letter to his wife, but World War II, for one, keeps intruding. It's war-work, after all, that has brought Alleyn to this seedy hospital in New Zealand's hinterlands, and it's the war that has left the hospital swimming in convalescing soldiers-noisy, often drunk, and always over-interested in the nurses. Nor is the weather helping. A storm has killed the electrical power, leaving Alleyn, the soldiers, and the medical staff stranded in the dark . . ..with a murderer. It's a good thing for everyone that there's a Scotland Yard detective on hand . . .An unfinished novel by the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master seamlessly completed by Crime Writers of America Dagger Award winner Stella Duffy, Money in the Morgue is "e;an intriguing mystery"e; with a "e;satisfyingly varied and vivid cast"e; (The Guardian)."e;A taut atmospheric whodunit . . .Duffy's facility at injecting wit into fair-play detecting will make Marsh fans hope she'll continue the series."e; -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
