Ngaio Marsh - Tumblr Posts

I’ve decided that in another life I was an artist/mystery writer/librarian/something that was married to either an aristocratic private detective (ala Lord Peter Wimsey) or a Chief Inspector from Scotland Yard (ala Inspector Roderick Alleyn) or wise-cracking ex-detective (ala Nick Charles).  I’d have my career, but I’d still be able to help solve cases with the hubby if time permits. Sometimes I’d be caught up in them - but we’d be able to work it out in the end. That would be the perfect life for me! (I’d love to be a mystery writer anyway.)

Yes, the picture is from Downton Abbey, but I’ve been reading a lot of Ngaio Marsh lately. I feel like Matthew Goode would be a perfect Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn and Michelle Dockery would be a great Agatha Troy. I think we’re due for a new Roderick Alleyn series (just like we’re in need for a new Campion and a new Wimsey series). Just sayin’.
