Publisher Description
For one unfortunate British politician, murder is the worst medicine: “An ingenious, logical, and sparkling tale.” —The New York Times
For Member of Parliament Sir Derek O’Callaghan, a simple visit to the hospital proves fatal. But as Inspector Alleyn will discover, any number of people had reason to help the gentleman to his just reward, including a sour surgeon, a besotted nurse, a resentful wife, and a cabinet full of political rivals, in this classic of detection by the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master.
“A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery.” —Kirkus Reviews
“It’s time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.” —New York Magazine
Customer Reviews
Top notch mystery.
Ngaio Marsh’s novels are well written and her characters are believable. I enjoy the story line and the characters so much that the murder and detection are almost secondary for me. This particular book was different in that I really enjoyed the plot as well as the varied characters. It was thoroughly entertaining and I was pleased that I had been fooled regarding the murderer, and I was sorry when the book ended.
