Product Description

Product Description

It was planned as an act of charity: a new piano for the parish hall, an amusing play to finance the gift. But its extension was doomed when Miss Campanula sat down to play. A chord was struck, a shot rang out and Miss was dead. A case of sinister infatuation for the brilliant Inspector Alleyn.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant classic whodunnit, 23 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Overture to Death (Paperback)
Ngaio Marsh never fails to produce a page-turner, and Overture to Death is as good as any of her works. Many of the characters walk the tightroap between being believable and being farcical, and on every page,information is casually included which turns out to be relevant to the killer's identity. A first-class read for anyone who loves classic whodunnits.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious 'mystery' - certain to send you to sleep, 6 Feb 2002
This review is from: Overture to Death (Paperback)
Possibly the most tedious, boring book I have ever read. With cliched characters, who we feel nothing for, cliched settings (mansions, the churchyard et al) and a rather dull detective most people will have the mystery solved within the first few chapters.
Don't waste your time and energy reading this dire novel.
