suzig 's review for:
Death at the Bar
by Ngaio Marsh
I found the beginning a bit boring, but it gets good once Alleyn shows up.
Alleyn and Fox shine in this mystery, both their personalities and their friendship. They have some really touching moments in the book.
I also found Colonel Brammington to be an annoying character, especially his part in the summing up where he drones on and on with his incorrect conclusions, although that did form an interesting counterpoint to how engaging I found Alleyn's summing up just a couples pages later. Partly because I was more interested in what actually happened, but also Alleyn is just a more engaging speaker.
I thought the book had both good clues and good red herrings.
Also I am still mad that Alleyn and Troy finished their wooing and had their marriage off screen, I'm so invested in their relationship lol
