FALSE SCENT

by Ngaio Marsh ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

While this holds to the central theme of suspense, rooted inevitably in the interrelations of characters and situation, it is one of Ngaio Marsh's best yarns. When she involves the characters in romantic and peripheral interests, the story loses focus... The plot revolves around an actress beyond her first youth, bitterly resentful of losing center of attention, and going temperamental to a point of dementia when she considers herself betrayed by her producer, playwright, fellow actors, or management. What happens when, on her birthday, she feels all are in a plot against her and how each one seems involved in her strange and violent death makes absorbingly good reading-up to the point of diffused interest.
