Death and the Dancing Footman by Ngaio Marsh. An Inspector Roderick Alleyn of Scotland Yard Murder Mystery (fiction). From the back cover: It was to be a grand house party, thrown by a jaded millionaire with a taste for the extravagant. A gala event-complete with sherry and cocktails, sparkling conversation, and a guest list overflowing with the hosts mortal enemies. One and all were anticipating a delightful evening. But unfortunately, a murder put a damper on the affair, and the party died along with the victim. And thus, Inspector Alleyn received a late invitation to a decidedly unsocial function-an affair where all the guests had reasons to play a deadly game of charades.
