English detective novels featuring Inspector Roderick Alleyn of Scotland Yard, Edith Ngaio Marsh in fact spent most of her life outside of England.

Was Ngaio maybe not her brother, and did the despicable husband know about that and use it to blackmail her?

Swann had left nothing to her husband, but she had not excluded him by name, eitherwhich could present a problem at some time down the road for her principal heir, Ngaio, the supposed brother.

The problem was, since Ingrid aka Myra Higgins had never divorced Conrad, as husband and therefore legal next of kin, he had an excellent case for breaking the will, particularly if Ngaio were not only not really a brother but not even a male.

Indigo, or Ngaio, I never did know which was her real name, with a bedspread he brought from upstairs.

Dame Ngaio has also spent a great deal of time in the theater, both professional and amateur, and has worked as a producer in the British Theatre Guild.
