This book was written in 1937. It is an Inspector Roderick Alleyn mystery. It takes place in New Zealand. An English touring company celerbrates a birthday with a jeroboam of champagne. A limited cast of clearly drawn characters makes an interesting police procedural.
Another excellent read in the Inspector Alleyn series!

Inspector Alleyn is "down under" during the war years. He's called upon to solve a murder at the theater. Ngaio Marsh always has rich characters, wonderful locales and lots of suspense when Alleyn is on the job.
