Scales Of Justice
Condition remarks:

A masterwork of the golden age of detective fiction, Scales of Justice is a classic whodunit set in the idyllic English village of Swevenings, where the tranquil rhythms of country life are shattered by murder. When the body of a prominent local figure is discovered beside a trout stream, Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn is summoned to untangle a web of secrets, jealousies, and long-buried rivalries among the village's respectable inhabitants. Ngaio Marsh crafts her narrative with the precision of a chess master, deploying sharp wit, finely observed social satire, and an intricate plot that keeps readers guessing until the final revelation. As Alleyn probes deeper, he uncovers that beneath the charming village veneer lies a community riven with ambition and deception — and that the scales of justice are far more delicate than they appear.
