Good Intricate Poisoning
One of Marsh’s most tightly-knit jobs. Victim a famous K.C., poisoned with KNC in the private taproom of a Devon inn while taking part in a demonstration of darts-throwing; plenty of good circumstantial detail leads to supposition of impossible crime. Alleyn, called in both by publican and by local police, does a splendid and fast (24 hours) job of discovering murderer, whose identity is a masterly demonstration in diverting suspicion from the most likely person. Method ingeniously simple, and hence convincing: a very neat job. Virtuoso display of logic at the end, including a delightful false solution propounded by a most amusing Chief Constable.

Another scintillating well-thought out plot.
Just finished this title. A thoroughly enjoyable read with a good mix of characters. Occasionally the layout of the scene was a little confusing but it does not detract in any way from the plot or its denouement. The plot winds its usual way, gradually building up a good collection of possible motives and murders. The author sprinkles plenty of clues as you go and may seem as if you have cracked it - but no, probably not... you are in for a great finale. Definitely a suspenseful read.
