Death and the Dancing Footman (Abridged) Audiobook

" Published in 1942, this book is from one of the "queens" of the golden age of mysteries. A number of highly unpleasant people are invited to a country house weekend. The host knows that everyone at the party has at least one secret and a rivalry with at least one of the other guests. Once everyone has arrived, there is a large snowstorm that isolates the house. Delicious. Of course, a murder is commited and someone in the house is guilty. Double Delicious. Everyone seems to have an alibi, but the the footman who couldn't resist dancing for a minute or two in the hall to a song playing on the wireless in the library might just hold the key to events. Enjoyable. "

" Marsh seems always to be compared to Christie, but she's a much better writer. This is an excellent snowbound houseparty murder mystery, with much realer characters and more realistic plot than Christie would do. Slightly too long and repetitive, but very readable. "

" Not one of her best.... "

" Marsh is underappreciated. Even though I pegged the killer early, there were other plausible options and the writing is pleasing. "

" What I'd call a 'solid' Marsh. Not quite enough here to love, but interesting and enjoyable. Alleyn only makes an appearance at the end of the book, effortlessly uncovering an 'obvious' murderer. "

" This is my favorite Ngaio Marsh even though Troy and Alleyn have only a relatively minor role in it. Very classic British mystery - a group of people in a an English manor for a weekend party are snowed in and one is murdered. "
