Arthur Surbonadier, a nephew of the theatre owner, Jacob Saint, is murdered for real instead of just as part of the action of the play. Even though Alleyn is on the spot it is still a difficult case to solve and there are many twists and turns to the plot before the murderer is brought to justice.
I enjoyed the story but found some of the dialogue just a touch too theatrical. It fits the theatrical background but I found it grated on me after a while. The only other Ngaio Marsh story I had read prior to this was Final Curtain which is much later in the series and I felt that Alleyn was much less likeable as a character in this book than he was in the later one. It is clear he grew and changed as the series developed.
That said, the book is well plotted and the murder ingenious. The corpse is suitably dislikeable as well and it is clear many people could have murdered him from motive alone, including his own uncle. An enjoyable read though maybe not the author's best book.
Author Ngaio Marsh was, herself, very involved in the theatre and was an acclaimed Shakespearian producer and this novel is full of her knowledge of the world of actors and backstage rivalries. It is humorous when Alleyn is annoyed by the actors hamming it up and you do wonder if she is having a sly dig for her own amusement. Overall, though, the theatre setting gives the book an interesting background. There are lots of interesting suspects and motives, before the final reconstruction when the murderer is revealed in their true colours. This is a delightful Golden Age mystery, with a fun plot and cast of characters and Alleyn is a wonderful detective. The next book in the series is “The Nursing Home Murder."
Although she is now best recalled as an author, Marsh was also a professional stage actress and director, and ENTER A MURDERER is set against the theatrical world that she knew so well. Reporter Nigel Bathgate has received two tickets for a popular stage thriller playing at The Unicorn Theatre, a play titled The Rat and the Badger. He invites Alleyn to join him for the performance—and pretense becomes fact when an actor is murdered.
In Marsh’s first novel, A MAN LAY DEAD, Alleyn was a cardboardish figure, and most of the novel followed Bathgate. In ENTER A MURDERER, however, Alleyn is much more developed and completely in charge, and the result is much more satisfying. The people who work at the theatre, and the atmosphere of the theatre itself, is also memorably developed. This is still not Marsh at her best, but it is easy to see how rapidly her confidence as a writer has improved, and although the book takes a few mis-turns, it is a fascinating read. Recommended.
