Death Of A Peer Mystery Paperback Book by Ngaio Marsh from Jove Books 1980
(Roderick Alleyn #18)

Of all the books in the Alleyn series, Scales of Justice is most powerfully reminiscent of Agatha Christie, with its setting in an almost unspeakably charming little English village, and its cast of inbred aristocrats. 

When one of the aristos turns up dead next to the local trout-stream – with, in fact, a trout at his side – everyone is dreadfully upset, of course, but really, just a tad irritated as well: Murder is so awfully messy. 

Thank gawd that nice Inspector Alleyn – not really one of us, you know, but not terribly wide of the mark – is on hand to clear things up. Though one could wish that he didn’t feel compelled to ask quite so many questions.

Book is in acceptable condition. General shelf and corner wear. Some white marks on the front and back cover. Some fraying along the cover edges. Tear at the top right hand corner of the front cover. Store sticker with markings on the front cover. Tear in the bottom left hand corner of the back cover. Cover fading. Cover creasing. Spine slanting. A solid reading copy.
