Who had a hand in the murder of a country gent?

All manner of friction fills the English country house shared by genteel retiree Percival Pyke Period and fuddy-duddy lawyer Harry Cartell. Until one of them, after a flamboyant dowager's treasure hunt party, is found murdered-face down in the mire of an open drain. Which of Superintendent Roderick Alleyn's suspects-linked by a tangled set of relationships-wore a crucial, missing pair of gloves to commit this dirty deed?

Review:

‘[Light,] entertaining and disastrously readable.’
Guardian

‘Neat, dexterous... Miss Marsh’s freshest and most enjoyable performance for years.’
Sunday Times

From the Back Cover:

"The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers"
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

The April Fool's day had been a roaring success for all at Little Codling, it seemed – except for poor Mr Cartell who had ended up in the ditch – for ever.

Shortly before the violent death, a somewhat bizarre company had gathered for lunch at the house of Mr. Percival Pyke Period, whose letter of condolence had been sent before the body was found. A puzzling crime for Superintendent Alleyn – not to mention the family squabbles...

"Light, entertaining and disastrously readable."
GAURDIAN

"Neat, dextrous... Miss Marsh's freshest and most enjoyable performance for years."
SUNDAY TIMES

"The finest writer in the English language of pure classical whodunit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress"
THE SUN
