False Scent by Ngaio Marsh

Mary Bellamy is the sweetheart of the London stage, fluffy as only an elderly lady of 50(!) can be. Her fans and friends-and who didn't adore, positively adore darling Mary?-are heartbroken when somehow Mary manages to spritz herself not with her favorite perfume but with the deadly insecticide meant to be sprayed on the azaleas. Inspector Alleyn begins by smelling something fishy (everything he learns about lovely, fragile Mary suggests that in fact she was a rather vicious battleax), but he very quickly starts smelling something different...something like a rat.
Ngaio Marsh was one of the queens of the golden age of traditional British mystery, alongside Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, and Dorothy Sayers. She wrote 32 novels in the Inspector Alleyn series. She was born in New Zealand and lived in both New Zealand and England.
