Description
Crime comes to a country house: Any Ngaio Marsh story is certain to be Grade A, and this one is no exception.
— The New York Times This classic from the Golden Age of British mystery opens during a country-house party between the two world wars—servants bustling, gin flowing, the gentlemen in dinner jackets, the ladies all slink and smolder. Even more delicious: The host, Sir Hubert Handesley, has invented a new and especially exciting version of that beloved parlor entertainment, The Murder Game . . . It’s time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.
— New York Magazine A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery.
— Kirkus Reviews
