Death of a Peer by Ngaio Marsh

2.0

I feel obliged to like the Alleyn mysteries by Ngaio Marsh, all my fellow Golden Age Detective fiction fans seem to, but I don't. I tried again with this one, again I failed to engage with it. It all goes way too slow for me, so much unnecessary information, unnecessary conversations, unnecessary scenes and the very unnecessary reporter being dragged onto the scene quite unnecessarily. It could have done without at least the 33% in the middle, what a drag.
