Authors I hope to finish before I die. Not sure how many, still making my list.
39. #NgaioMarsh (1895 - 1982). New Zealand author of #InspectorAlleyn mystery series. 33 books. Completed 20 books. Pt 1 of 2

I’m watching #InspectorAlleyn (a 1990 BBC adaptation of Ngaio Marsh novels) on UKTV Drama. In the first episode he was played by Simon Williams (Justin in #TheArchers). But subsequently he was played by… William Simons!

How interesting.
