But most likely, I will just read this one on paper and hope that Mr. Maybe if I can follow the dialogues, it will be less aggravating. Anyway, I will try to read the printed book with Mr. But the first volume was narrated quite differently and I liked that version of Alleyn. Saxon portrays him and then, I guess I will not read many more of his adventures. I am new to Ngaio Marsh's mysteries and I would like a chance to enjoy getting to know her detective. 2) Alleyn comes off as a detached, offhanded snob, uninterested and contemptuous as he delivers latin quotes, except for a few bouts of manic excitement à la Sherlock Holmes, when he verges on crudeness. During the interrogation scenes, Alleyn, Nigel, Miss Vaughan, Mr. Saxon also delivers the lines of the many posh suspects and fancy actors in sighs AND sighs as he reads the text in between - is he bored? - I could no longer guess who was speaking and when the dialogue was over. Unfortunately, the narrator seems to have chosen one single tone of voice for Alleyn: most of his lines are spoken in a jaded sigh. It really reminds me of one of Poirot's adventures but that is not a problem and I will edit this review once I finish reading the book.
