Ngaio Marsh��(1895–1982), born in New Zealand, wrote over thirty detective novels. Many of her stories had theatrical settings, as her real passion was for the theater. She was both an actress and a producer and almost single-handedly revived the New Zealand public's interest in live theater. In 1966 she was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

- content: When a British blue blood living in the pastoral village of Swevenings is brutally murdered, no one is spared examination by Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn. Nadia May lovingly brings to life a myriad of characters--Lady Lacklander's aristocratic conceit; her son's sniveling weakness; Nurse Kettle's common, busybody caring; and Inspector Alleyn's no-nonsense, logical, yet compassionate, crispness. May reads clearly, fully develops Marsh's characters and effectively builds suspense. Her lovely British voice offers a delightful rendering of Marsh's finely crafted classic. J.H.B.

- content: Listening to SCALES OF JUSTICE is like taking a trip back to mid-twentieth-century rural England. The classes know their place, eccentricities abound, the district nurse is named Kettle, and the story has a featured cat. No accent, implication, or physical description escapes narrator Peter Wickham's sparkling presentation. When one of the local villagers is murdered, everyone is suspect. The indomitable Roderic Alleyn and his sidekick, Fox, wade through clues and fish scales (note the title) to find the culprit. The best part is an endearing romance that's totally unexpected. The vintage style of story and presentation make this a perfect audiobook. Like the works of Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle, Marsh's classic mysteries will live forever. S.G.B.
