"The Nursing Home Murder"

"The Nursing Home Murder" by Ngaio Marsh is her third book in the Roderick Alleyn mystery series.  I read "A Man Lay Dead" then somehow skipped over the second book in the series but realized it when a mention was made of that book in "The Nursing Home Murder" when Alleyn asks Nigel Bathgate and his fiancee, Angela, to help him solve this case.

I have seen the movie adaptation of "The Nursing Home Murder" so I struggled with reading the details during the first half of the book because it was all so familiar to me but I had forgotten who the murderer was so became more engrossed as Alleyn began closing in on him/her.  It's a good read but can get a little confusing at times trying to keep all the medical staff straight.  pazt
