About Ngaio Marsh
Dame Edith Ngaio Marsh DBE (1895–1982) was a New Zealand author and playwright. Marsh is known as one of the Queens of Crime, along with Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margery Allingham. Her character Inspector Roderick Alleyn, a gentleman detective who works for the Metropolitan Police, was featured in all 33 of Marsh's novels, including one finished after her death.
Ngaio Marsh is discussed in Ngaio Marsh Goes Home and The Secret Life of Ngaio Marsh episodes. Her works are mentioned in The Murder Mystery Hotline, Whodunnit Centenary: 1924, and Murder on Holiday. Most recently, I dedicated another episode to her canon titled The Queen of Gothic Crime.
