    Emotional murder
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2018*

This story revolves around a high-strung theatrical family prone to hysterics, tears, fights, and fainting fits in any trying situation. They are pushed to the extremes of their emotions when the head of the family is murdered.Sir Henry Ancred, baronet, has been a famous a Shakespearean actor. At seventy-five he is still unbelievably handsome with a ducal head and beautiful gestures. His family persuades Agatha Troy to paint his portrait as Macbeth.  Troy is not only a renowned portrait painter but also the wife of Scotland Yard’s star investigator Inspector Alleyn.Alleyn has been on the other side of the world for over three years doing war work. His return to England and his wife is an engaging sub-theme in the novel.The puzzle is puzzling indeed. The red herrings are seductive. The waters are muddied by the Difficult Child of the family who is constantly playing pranks. And Sir Henry’s tendency to change his will regularly in anger adds to the excitement.Final Curtain was first published in 1947.  Ngaio Marsh’s depiction of theatrical people is realistic and astute, no doubt reflecting her own experience as a young actress.This book fits nicely into the series, which just keeps getting better as I read through it.

    Review of Final Curtain
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020*

The characters in the novel are very well written which makes them easy to visualize and also to laugh at.  Yes, it's a murder mystery, but that doesn't mean that the characters have to walk around looking mysterious and threatening.  The first part of the story is seen through the eyes of Roderick Alleyn's wife, Troy, who has gone to an estate to paint a portrait of the patriarch of the family.  The patriarch, his adult children, and grandchildren have been stage actors.  The family members who haven't chosen the stage, still have the histrionics of stage actors, much to the dismay of Troy and the inlaws married into the family.The plot twists are unexpected, and this is one of my favorite Ngaio Marsh novel.s

    Very good, this one stumped me!
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2015*

A keeper. However I will have to wait several years before I reread it. It is the solutions of the ones that stump us that stick firmly in our memory of a mystery novel.A World War 2 , novel. Alleyn is off on secret war related business so Agatha Troy lets herself be talked into going up North to paint a portrait of an elderly Shakespearian actor who was knighted for his acting. She arrives at a very uncomfortable family house party. There are so many people/suspects in this plot that I had to contruct a family tree. And as the title of this review states, Marsh completely stumped me on this one.
