Enter a Murderer (Roderick Alleyn Series #2)

by Ngaio Marsh

Overview

A policeman in the audience sees an all-too-real death scene on a London stage: “Good enough to satisfy the most critical reader of detective stories.” —The New York Times

Inspector Roderick Alleyn has been invited to an opening night, a new play in which two characters quarrel and then struggle for a gun, with predictably sad results. Even sadder, the gun was not, in fact, loaded with blanks. And when it comes to interviewing witnesses, actors can be a deceptive lot . . .

“It’s time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.” —New York Magazine

She has maintained a very high standard…Indeed, she writes better than Agatha Christie ever did: She is more civilized, knows something about the arts, and her characterizations have much more life than Christie’s cardboard figures ever did.”

praise for the author New York Times

Saxon’s voice is as powerful as it is beautiful, possessing an energy that works alongside Marsh’s writing to propel the plot. Classically engaging.”
