This classic from the Golden Age of British mystery opens during 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...
"It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." - New York Magazine
"A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery." - Kirkus Reviews
