For one unfortunate British politician, murder is the worst medicine: "An ingenious, logical, and sparkling tale." —The New York Times For Member of Parliament Sir Derek O'Callaghan, a simple visit to the hospital proves fatal. But as Inspector Alleyn will discover, any number of people had reason to help the gentleman to his just reward, including a sour surgeon, a besotted nurse, a resentful wife, and a cabinet full of political rivals, in this classic of detection by the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master. "A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery." —Kirkus Reviews "It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." —New York Magazine
