Marsh, Ngaio - New Zealand Book Council

There are moments, which must embarrass some readers, when the colonials submit obsequiously to the great detective from the metropolis, but also some obvious attempts to show sympathy for the Maori predicament—from the outside.
. . .
The English country settings similarly provided an escape from the more demanding task of establishing a New Zealand novel tradition.
. . .
She spent some three months each year on theatrical work, and nine months on writing.
. . .
The four novels with New Zealand settings are Vintage Murder (1937), Colour Scheme (1943), Died in the Wool (1945) and Photo-Finish (1980).
. . .
She began writing at an early age, publishing in school magazines and winning prizes for poems and prose.
. . .
The theatrical detail is spiced with Maori ‘superstitions’ surrounding a tiki, and Alleyn inquires almost as much into Maori culture—using Dr Te Pokiha as his informant—as into the crime.
