Enter a Murderer

During a performance at the Unicorn Theatre, a shooting occurs with an unloaded gun that unexpectedly fires a real bullet, leading to the death of actor Arthur Surbonadier, known for his blackmail tactics rather than talent. The investigation uncovers a web of reluctant partners and blackmail victims, creating a complex, baffling case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. Renowned for her traditional mystery style, Ngaio Marsh's classic British crime writing offers a compelling puzzle in the vein of Agatha Christie and Margery Allingham.
