"Death In Ecstasy" is the 4th book in Ngaio Marsh's Roderick Alleyn detective series and I had no better luck discovering whodunnit than in her previous mysteries but I had fun trying.
When Chief Detective-Inspector Alleyn's friend, Nigel Bathgate is looking out the window of his flat one evening, he notices a sign for the "House of the Sacred Flame" and it intrigues him enough (or is he just bored?) that he decides to go down the street to check it out. Little did he suspect that one of the worshipers is about to be murdered and he'd have to call his friend, Alleyn, to investigate the case. He's also a witness to the murder but figuring out who the culprit is and what the motive is will not come easily. Cora Quayne died in full view of Nigel and the other worshipers but how her poisoning occurred is not so easy to ascertain. Clues to why she had to die come from several sources including some outside England. pazt
