Artists in Crime: Inspector Roderick Alleyn #6 (Inspectr Roderick Alleyn)

In the movies, it?s known as a ?meet cute.? But for Inspector Alleyn and Miss Agatha Troy, it?s more like irritation: On the ship back to England, she finds him tedious and dull; he thinks she?s a bohemian cliché. They may be destined for romance, but there?s a murder in the way: No sooner has Alleyn settled in to his mother?s house, eager for a relaxing end to his vacation, then he gets a call that a model has been stabbed at the artists? community down the road. And the artistic Miss Troy is one of the community?s most prominent and outspoken members.
