Death and the Dancing Footman Résumé

Death and the Dancing Footman Ngaio Marsh

A winter weekend ends in snowbound disaster in a novel which remains a favourite among Marsh readers.

It began as an entertainment: eight people, many of them enemies, gathered for a winter weekend by a host with a love for theatre. They would be the characters in a drama that he would devise.

Death and the Dancing Footman Avis

'The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers'
Times Literary Supplement

'On the plane of art.'
Tatler

'Nobody in her racket begins to touch her for writing grace and few possess her skill at creating potential corpses and suspects, building a puzzle and other essentials of grand and lofty detection. There hasn't been anyone like her since the palmiest days of Dorothy L. Sayers.'
New York Herald Tribune

'She is astoundingly good.'
Daily Express

'The finest writer in the English languange of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress.'
The Sun
