Ngaio Marsh - a Life

New Zealander Ngaio Marsh wrote more than 30 detective novels between 1934 and 1982, the year of her death. Nearly all reference Shakespearean plays and are laced with humour and bloodthirsty murder.
Margaret Lewis provides a good smattering of Kiwi history to help readers understand where and how Marsh grew up, and reveals the source of inspiration for each of her books.
