Review: "Scales of Justice"

 

Scales of Justice a Roderick Alleyn mystery by Ngaio Marsh.

The scales of a trout are as different as human fingerprints are from each other.  Even the scales of the great Old’un trout laying next to the body of Colonel Cartarette.

A quaint small town of people with old money is put out when someone murders Colonel Cartarette.

Inspector Alleyn comes to investigate, and everyone is put off by his questioning.  Eventually, he identifies the killer, though the townsfolk are still annoyed and just want him to leave.

A great mystery with a town of people you’ll remember.  Though it will annoy them.
