A Man Lay Dead

Crime comes to a country house: “Any Ngaio Marsh story is certain to be Grade A, and this one is no exception. ” —The New York Times

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.

“A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery. ” —Kirkus Reviews
