Ngaio Marsh. Scales of Justice (1955) Ancient family secrets, a tight-knit society, an outsider who married one of the set and is made to feel unwelcome, a widower who is both a fool and at a dangerous age, and unacknowledged ties between people come together to produce murder. The solution hinges on the curious fact that no two fish have exactly the same pattern of growth rings on their scales. Nicely done, with rather more of the police procedures than usual. **½ (2007)
