And this time, it's personal.<br /> "It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." —<i>New York Magazine</i><br /> "A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery." —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br /> "The nonpareil among criminal investigators." —<i>The New York Times</i></p>.
