Naigo Marsh takes us on vacation with Detective Alleyn to New Zealand (our author's homeland) for Vintage Murder.
Detective Alleyn is booked on a train with a group of characters who make up an acting troupe -- including the lead actress, who for some reason -- was it money? -- married a wealthy businessman who bought a half interest in the troupe.
At the conclusion of their first round of shows, the cast has an onstage party for the businessman, but things go wrong for all but one person when the champagne bottle trick ends up crushing in the businessman's head.
Which one did it? A lengthy investigation featuring a green tiki leads to many lies, and finally only one answer.
