Death on the Air, and Other Stories

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an empress."

"True excellence is rare. This combination of interesting and unusual story selections, a well-known 'cozy' author, and an outstanding reader is recommended for all fiction collections."

"Ngaio Marsh worked largely within the conventions of the golden age detective story but transcended the genre by the power of her writing, the excellent use she makes of her own experience and interests and the rich variety of characters who people her novels. The best of her books will endure."
