DEATH IN A WHITE TIE BY NGAIO MARSH is the seventh book in the Roderick Alleyn series and in my
humble opinion, one of her greatest of novels. I have read and re-read this book so many times it is like an old friend, very well known and extremely comfortable to be with!
DEATH IN A WHITE TIE is a story of not only murder, but blackmail with a sprinkle of love story mixed in. We get the usual characters along with Alleyn, Fox, Bailey & Doctor Curtis and we get to see Alleyns mother Lady Alleyn and Agatha Troy the artist that Alleyn has worshiped from afar. The MURDER: Lord Robert Gospell or "Bunchy" to his good friends,included in that group, Alleyn. BLACKMAIL: The ladies of the book who are being blackmailed for dreadful secrets past and present. LOVE: Well you have to read the book to find out that one!.
As you can pretty well tell I am a huge fan of The Alleyn mysteries and like I said at the beginning DEATH IN A WHITE TIE is one of NGAIO MARSH'S greatest mysteries.
