The book is organised into themed chapters and each chapter begins with some Venetian proverbs, then moves on to short quotations about the city, and then to excerpts from longer works, including history books and travelogues, poetry and fiction.

Artists in Crime is among of the better of Ngaio Marsh's Chief Inspector Alleyn novels, and one of the ones I occasionally reread - not so much for the murder plot, which is gruesome and more than a little melodramatic, albeit clever - but for the romance.

Like many other legends of the old West, Calamity Jane's legendary
status makes her out to be a larger-than-life character, a shining
heroine who lived as she pleased and enjoyed more freedom than most
women of the era. Considering that she was already a legend in her own
lifetime, surprisingly little seems to be known about her real life,
which is eclipsed by her legend.
