Summary: Too many suspects
Comment: When Troy Alleyn agrees to visit Halberds to paint the portrait of eccentric proprietor Hilary Bill-Tasman, she doesn't realize what an odd household she's visiting. As it happens, Bill-Tasman decided to solve his domestic servant problem by staffing his house with paroled murderers. When after a series of frightening pranks and a stint as the Christmas Druid, Alfred Moult goes missing, Troy's husband Roderick is called in to see if murder is at hand.
While perhaps not exceptional (the situation is a bit overdone, and it's rather easy to guess the killer) _Tied up In Tinsel_ is a typically well-written Marsh mystery. Well worth a read.
Rating: 5
Summary: The ultimate Ngaio Marsh
Comment: This was the first Inspector Alleyn mystery I ever read so it holds an extra special place in my heart. Marvelous characters and a great mystery make this one of Marsh's best. The character of Troy Alleyn, a respected portrait painter, starts off the tale never expecting to be plunged into intrigue. She more than manages to hold her own until her husband is called in to solve the case. Quirky players, a little twisted holiday spirit, and the standard Ngaio Marsh wit make this book stellar. A must read and a great first book for Marsh newcomers.
Rating: 4
Summary: A pretty package
Comment: Nicely traditonal setting for us cosy fans. Perhaps a bit thinly written, but a very good puzzle plot (maybe it was an off day for me, but I was fooled). Witty ending takes a somewhat cynical view of progessive views on criminal rehabilitation.
