Synopsis
Ngaio Marsh was one of the queens (she has been called the empress) of England's Golden Age of mystery fiction. And in true Golden Age fashion, her oeuvre opens with, yes, 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.

Review
‘Faultless story-telling.’
New York Times
From the Back Cover
THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES
To amuse his houseguests (and Sir Hubert is famous for his amusing house parties) Sir Hubert Handesley devises a new form of the Murder Game.
But when the lights go up there is a real corpse, with a real dagger in its back – and all seven suspects have had ample time to concoct amusing alibis...
"Ngaio Marsh transforms the detective story from a mere puzzle into a novel"
DAILY EXPRESS
"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an express."
