One thing Marsh does well is awful social embarrassment. The famous actress whose temperament has become unmanageable, whose selfishness is unchecked, is the focus of "False Scent". There is not enough here to make me love the story, but it is a strongly carried mystery.
I really like some of the minor characters in this one, especially Octavius Browne. (Jan 2008)
