A Man Lay Dead by Ngaio Marsh

3.0

I have read other Ngaio Marsh novels, but never read her first, so the "Type A" personality took over and compelled me to start at the beginning of her Chief Inspector-Detective Roderick Alleyn mystery series. This typical British murder mystery novel was definitely not one of her better efforts, so I was glad I was introduced to Alleyn in a later novel when his character was much more developed (and interesting!)
