Enter a Murderer was Ngaio Marsh's second book featuring Inspector Roderick Alleyn. I liked this book.
The mystery was simple but still interesting enough to keep me second guessing my theory. I still don't have a real sense of the Inspector. He's very Poirot like in that he seems to think very highly of himself however, there is still a likeable quality about him. Marsh's books seem to have more regional (British) and era related words and sayings than Christie's work which for me is somewhat distracting as I don't always know what she's talking about but it's not enough to ruin anything about the book.
I will continue with this series. I'd like to see if the character evolves and how Marsh's career compares to Christie. Overall, I will give this book a 3.5 star rating.
Happy Reading!
