Tied Up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh
Reader Reviews Too many suspects, January 28, 2002 Reviewer: frumiousb from Utrecht, the Netherlands When Troy Alleyn agrees to visit Halberds to paint the portrait of eccentric proprietor Hilary Bill-Tasman, she doesn't realize what an odd household she's visiting. As it happens, Bill-Tasman decided to solve his domestic servant problem by staffing his house with paroled murderers. When after a series of frightening pranks and a stint as the Christmas Druid, Alfred Moult goes missing, Troy's husband Roderick is called in to see if murder is at hand. While perhaps not exceptional (the situation is a bit overdone, and it's rather easy to guess the killer) _Tied up In Tinsel_ is a typically well-written Marsh mystery. Well worth a read. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title
