A Who Done It Classic Worth Reading

I have been a big fan of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and was looking for a British author that would write just like them. Though Ngaio Marsh is somewhat like them she has her own flare and style but is enough like them that she didn't disappoint me in my love of British mysteries.





The Nursing Home Murder An Inspector Alleyn mystery is the first of Ngaio Marsh's books that I have read but it won't be the last. It is a good mystery that has many viable suspects, some interesting motives and a few surprises.

When Britain's Home Secretary collapses and is rushed to the hospital who knew he would never leave. Inspector Alleyn has to find who has done the Secretary in and how and why he met his demise. He has his work cut out for him when he finds several in the operating room had reasons for wanting the Secretaries death.

From a spurned lover, to anarchists,  to the Secretaries wife and sister and others who might want him dead, Marsh keeps you guessing right along with Inspector Alleyn on who is the murderer and in trying to solve this murder. I found at times the book was a little tedious and could have moved faster but overall it was good. I thought the ending was a little anticlimactic but it is still worth the read.
