A collection of the BBC's dramatisations of Ngaio Marsh's most famous sleuth: Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn.

This collection would include the following works by Ngaio Marsh:

A Man Lay Dead — The gentleman detective tackles a country house party murder.

A Surfeit of Lampreys — Gentleman sleuth Inspector Alleyn probes a grisly death of the head of a spendthrift aristocratic family.

Opening Night — When a leading actor is found gassed in his dressing room, it looks like suicide. But it transpires he was so detested that everyone had a motive for his murder.

When In Rome — 1970s Rome. Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn is incognito and on the trail of a vast drugs syndicate — and some exceptionally unsavoury blackmail. But he hasn't reckoned on murder.
