Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Lord Pastern fired his revolver. The figure in the spotlight fell and the coup-de-theatre had become murder. Could Inspector Alleyn believe Pastern had let hatred of his future son-in-law go too far? Or would the tangle of jealousies and blackmail among the guests reveal another murderer? --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Ingram

When one of Lord Pastern's infamous jokes turns into the "accidental" death of a nightclub band member, Inspector Alleyn hears the unmistakable music of murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agatha Christie who?, Dec 31 2001
By Kristen A. Criado (Franklin, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ngaio Marsh is definitely an overlooked mystery writer. Christie, Sayers, Allingham - all get more mention as a general rule but Marsh is not to be overlooked. Her Inspector Alleyn mysteries are among the finest out there. Full of wit, plot twists, and fascinating characters, don't miss out on this or any of her library. A must have for any mystery-phile's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laurels for Ngaio, Nov 27 2000
By c. john evans (Northport, AL) - See all my reviews
Probably Marsh's very best mystery plot. Underestimated by those looking for details on New Zealand or the theatrical world. Those who love good, traditional English mystery plots will love this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but ends too abruptly, Jun 19 2000
As usual, I enjoyed another excellent mystery from the pen of Dame Marsh. I particularly liked the fact that Detective-Inspector Fox was given more stage-time. However, while I find the motive for the murder perfectly plausible, I'm not so sure I believe in the efficacy of the method. The plot is similar to _Enter a Murderer_, in that what is supposed to be a joke or "staged" murder, turns out to be the real thing, in front of a dozen witnesses. Still, even though this set-up is similar, Marsh populates the novel with an altogether different cast of people. The only thing I wish is that when the book ended, it would give the reader a clue as to what happens to the various characters, and not just reveal who the murderer is.
