Reply to comment by sekhmet1010 in I've entered my Ngaio Marsh phase by falling_fire

Marsh wrote one series and I started at the beginning with "A Man Lay Dead." I thought that the second book, "Enter a Murderer," was better. But I'm a big supporter of reading series in order. By book 3-4 I was hooked.

Thanks! Writing it down as one to get my mum for her birthday - it was her who gave me her Agatha Christie books to read as a child, too. She loves the French mystery writer Fred Vargas, very uniquely weird with a lot of eccentric characters, the first Three Evangelists one is probably a softer introduction than the first Adamsberg novel The Chalk Circle Man.
