The cover to Ngaio Marsh's novel "Final Curtain." The book has a red background with the author's name, title, and subtitle ("A Roderick Alleyn Mystery") on the top half. The bottom half shows a yellow theatre curtain descending to a black fringe above a red stage. In front of the curtain a deathly figure all in black bends and beckons with one arm; their head is a skull.
So many great covers in this vintage paperback collection of Ngaio Marsh mysteries that just went on sale.
This one for her novel "Final Curtain" is maybe my favorite!

4. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by #JohnLeCarre. I adore Cold War spy stories, and this is the undisputed masterpiece.
5. A Surfeit of Lampreys by #NgaioMarsh. It's the only Roderick Alleyn book I've reread countless times. It's basically a bottle episode with England's Most Charming Family.

Beautiful covers from the 50s & 60s and famous authors like #JosephineTey #DorothySayers #NgaioMarsh #AndrewGarve and more. Nice for the summer evenings now and my holiday next month 😎✈️

Mon défi pour 2025 : #unjourunlivreunauteur
Aujourd'hui : pendant néo-zélandais d'Agatha Christie, elle était l'une des reines du crime avec des romans élégants. Bonne journée, les amis ! #NgaioMarsh

Ngaio Marsh's Roderick Alleyn is the most dashing detective. I love his romance with artist Agatha Troy. Meet/cute in Artists in Crime, romance in Death in a White Tie, delightful in Clutch of Constables. #ngaiomarsh #murdermystery #agathachristie #dorothylsayers #margeryallingham #historicalmystery

These four authors were the best selling writers in the 1930's which got them the title, The Four Queens of Crime. Well deserved! If you haven't read at least something from each writer, check them out! #agathachristie #dorothylsayers #ngaiomarsh #margeryallingham #murdermystery #historicalfiction

Today's niche genre fiction trivia: Roderick Alleyn's mother and the loathsome Stacy Calverleigh both own a country house named Danes Court / Danescourt. #GeorgetteHeyer #NgaioMarsh
