Colour Scheme
Colour Scheme is set during World War II at a mud-baths resort in New Zealand run by Colonel Claire. His business is on the brink of being taken over by a local blowhard who may be a Nazi spy. Inspector Alleyn has been sent to the resort to sort things out. But he's in disguise, and even the canniest readers will have trouble picking him out from the resort's motley cast of characters.

Not the best Marsh book I've chanced upon. It plods along for far too long, a lot of the story could have been stripped away to speed things up and stop the reader/listener getting bored. [return][return]The murder itself doesnt happen until half way into the book at which point it does speed up, but there's still an awful lot of sitting around and talking.[return][return]Alleyn (as Alleyn) doesn't turn up until the end, (although he's in the book from the middle). [return][return]The narrator - i got this as an audiobook - was reasonable, having quite a few different voices to contend with, although I did find some of his NZ characters a bit grating (I only hope that that was the point).
