The Nursing Home Murder (St. Martin's Dead Letter Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: So-So
Review: When a political leader meets unexpected death during emergency surgery, Inspector Allen must determine whether the murder is politically motivated or purely personal. Marsh creates a more deliberately detection-oriented plot than usually found in her work; all the same, THE NURSING HOME MURDER is largely lacking in the wit that generally illuminates Marsh's finest work, and as such the novel seems a bit slow and dry. Long time fans will enjoy it, but newcomers would do well to select a livelier work.
