Publisher's Summary
Who in the quiet village of Chipping would kill wealthy spinster Idris Campanula? Plenty of people—among them her fellow cast members from a troubled charity production. Miss Campanula was a spiteful gossip, gleefully destroying others’ lives merely for her own excitement. But once Inspector Roderick Alleyn arrives, he quickly realizes that the murderer might have killed the wrong woman—and may soon stage a repeat performance.

Very funny but you'll spot the killer a mile away
Very funny satire about putting together a community theatre performance but all of the characters are caricatures and you'll spot the killer a mile away.

Ngaio Marsh’s detective is my favourite from the golden age of mysteries.
Overture to Death includes all the basics of the country estate mysteries: the squire, the heir, the rector, the country doctor, etc. Despite an incredibly old fashioned attitude towards ’spinsters’, it has a wonderful cast of complex and interesting characters and a murder that’s bound to keep readers guessing.
