"For one unlucky Member of Parliament, a simple visit to the hospital (the 'nursing home' of the title) proves fatal. But as Inspector Alleyn will discover, any number of people had reason to help the gentleman to his just reward, including the sour surgeon, his besotted nurse, a resentful wife, and a cabinet full of political rivals."--Page 4 of cover.

I love every member of this detecting team. submitted by terpsichore17 on July 28, 2021, 11:13am A watershed for me: I actually identified whodunnit before the Big Reveal, despite the theatre-full of possibilities (mostly due to having read Whose Body? and thus recognizing a certain cut of jib).

As for the reveal itself, I rather wonder if Alleyn/Marsh are over-reliant on Hamlet-esque reproductions of the scene? We'll see how Death in Ecstasy manages.

I continue to appreciate how Alleyn, Bathgate, Angela, Fox, et al. interact.

More mysteries submitted by kathscot on July 4, 2022, 1:28pm A wonderful complement of mysteries by a contemporary of Christie. Alleyn is a complex character who faces cases with many suspects. Not m favorite of Marsh, but still a good story.
