Inspector Roderick Alleyn
|
Roderick Alleyn is a fictional gentleman detective created by New Zealand writer, Ngaio Marsh. March wrote 32 books featuring Inspector Roderick Alleyn between 1934 and 1982 (her death). An unfinished manuscript was published in 2018, Money in the Morgue, with Stella Duffy. Marsh mentions that she named her detective Alleyn after the Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn, founder of Dulwich College, where her father had been a pupil. She started a novel with Alleyn in 1931, after reading a detective story by Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers on a wet Saturday afternoon in London. She wondered if she could write something in the genre. So she bought six exercise books and a pencil at a local stationer and started A Man Lay Dead, involving a Murder Game, which was then popular at English weekend parties. More on Roderick Alleyn |
