Her books from the late forties through the fifties are fun, but the later mysteries, such as this one from the 70's, are a little bit tedious. There was a little too much eccentricity in the characters, and the surprise ending, involving secret paternity and the snobbiness of the self-made upperclass, is a little much. (  ) apartmentcarpet | Jul 29, 2009 |  The occasion is a Christmas party hosted by Mr. Hilary Bill-Tasman, landed proprietor of Halberds Manor and authority on antiques. Attending the festivities are a number of unusual characters, several of whom are perfectly logical candidates for murderer--and one of whom will elude the most prescient reader until tracked down by the indefatigable Superintendent Roderick Alleyn, whose wife Troy innocently involved him in all the sinister goings-on in the first place.
