Product Description

Ingram

Setting in for a cozy night of brandy and darts at the pub, an inebriated lawyer suffers a seemingly harmless dart puncture. But within moments of his injury, the unlucky barrister loses more than a simple game of darts--he loses his life. Called in to investigate this alleged accident, Inspector Roderick Alleyn wonders about the rules of this friendly bar game--and probes into a pub full of motives for murder. Reissue. .

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Intricate Poisoning, Jul 13 2003
One of Marsh's most tightly-knit jobs. Victim a famous K.C., poisoned with KNC in the private taproom of a Devon inn while taking part in a demonstration of darts-throwing; plenty of good circumstantial detail leads to supposition of impossible crime. Alleyn, called in both by publican and by local police, does a splendid and fast (24 hours) job of discovering murderer, whose identity is a masterly demonstration in diverting suspicion from the most likely person. Method ingeniously simple, and hence convincing: a very neat job. Virtuoso display of logic at the end, including a delightful false solution propounded by a most amusing Chief Constable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Far Below Her Best, Nov 28 2001
By Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When a famous attorney is found poisoned in a small town pub following a game of darts, Inspector Allen is set on the case--but the result is far from Marsh's best work.

Although DEATH AT THE BAR gives us a large cast of characters and a potentially interesting setting and mysterious plot, the novel lacks even the faintest trace of the wit we expect from Marsh. Worse still, much of the work relies upon endless exposition and the solution to the crime is not so much surprising as it vaguely annoying. Diehard fans will want to read the novel, but all others are urged to stay away.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dart over to this one!, Nov 27 2000
By c. john evans (Northport, AL) - See all my reviews
Perhaps not one of her more richly written efforts, but buoyed by a marvellous mystery plot, set in a wonderful English pub. Darts and beer, a fatal combination.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very clever plot
I've just started reading Ngaio Marsh's mysteries, so I don't know if this book is a "typical" Marsh mystery, but I certainly hope so. Read more
