Same book as Swing, Brother Swing
I enjoyed reading this book only a few weeks ago when I bought it second hand under the title Swing, Brother Swing. I ordered A Wreath for Rivera last week and was looking forward to another of Ngaio's very good stories. Unfortunatley it seems the USA gave the book a different title. So be warned! If you buy this don't buy Swing Brother Swing!

Beware American title
Standard early Ngaio Marsh - which translates as an excellent classic who-done-it! - but beware that "A Wreath for Rivera" is the American title - in the UK it has always been published as "Swing, Broth, Swing"
