257. A Man Lay Dead (Ngaio Marsh)

I couldn't find any images relevant to the book so here's a cool satellite photo of Ngaio Marsh's birthplace, New Zealand.

Synopsis from Amazon:
Sir Hubert Handesley regularly invites a small group of friends and acquaintances to Frampton, his country estate. This weekend he has something special planned--a murder game. But then one of the players is discovered with a real dagger in his back. A Man Lay Dead introduces us to Inspector Roderick Alleyn, Marsh's intelligent, cool, and inscrutable inspector from Scotland Yard.

My rating: 4 stars
