Death and the Dancing Footman by Ngaio Marsh

4.0

It sounds like the party from hell -- and it is. Bored rich dude decides to hold a house party with a carefully assembled cast of people who have reasons to hate each other. Then they're all shut in by a snowstorm. Is it any wonder someone gets killed? Marsh's country-house mysteries can get slow when Roderick Alleyn isn't on the scene, but in this one she gives us a young playwright, Aubrey Mandrake, as a stand-in. There are two romances as well, one of them predictable, the other completely silly. However, the footman actually does dance.
