A Man Lay Dead

A man lay dead

Sarah Sammis

A Man Lay Dead by Ngaio Marsh is the first of the Roderick Alleyn mysteries. There's a party at a country manor. It's full of privileged twats doing idiotic things. One of their games is a murder game, except, one of them actually ends up dead.

It was okay. Maybe being sequestered with family has distracted my reading. Or maybe it's the puppy.

In a mystery originally published in 1934, Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn arrives at Sir Hubert Handesley's country house party only to discover a real corpse has appeared during the guests' parlor game of "Murder." Reprint.
