Ngaio Marsh

    23 de abril de 1895 – 18 de febrero de 1982

    Ngaio Marsh fue una maestra de la narración, cuyas novelas de crímenes están imbuidas de su profunda apreciación por el teatro y la pintura. A lo largo de una carrera de cincuenta años, elaboró intrincados misterios, presentando al memorable detective Roderick Alleyn. Las obras de Marsh a menudo exploran los mundos dramáticos del escenario y el estudio de arte, combinando el suspenso con agudas observaciones de la naturaleza humana. Su estilo distintivo y su profundidad temática solidificaron su legado como una figura prominente en la edad de oro de la ficción de detectives.
