Book Review of A Man Lay Dead (Roderick Alleyn, Bk 1)

A Man Lay Dead  (Roderick Alleyn, Bk 1)
reviewed on


Sir Hubert Handesley tries a new version of the murder game to amuse his house guests, but when the lights go on, there is a real dead body in the room, but all seven suspects have amusing alibis...
You might call Ngaio Marsh the New Zealand Agatha Christie. There are resemblances in their writing, and I enjoyed Marsh's books every bit as much as Christie's, though they are less famous.
