Dalla quarta di copertina:

THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES

"He looks upon the murders that he did in fact perform as tiresome and regrettable necessities.' Thus Chief Superintendent Roderick Alleyn described in international crook known as 'the Jampot'. But it was Alleyn's wife Troy who knew 'the Jampot' best: she had shared close quarters with him on the cruise of the pleasure steamer Zodiac along the peaceful rivers of 'Constable country'...

"Cruising through constable country, in both senses, with a cargo of strongly varied, cunningly suspect characters...the classic detective story".
THE TIMES

"A good Marsh...which puts it into the 'must' category'.
SUN

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an express."
