Ngaio Marsh's Enter a Murderer
The second Inspector Alleyn book finds Alleyn and the journalist from book one (who has become a Watson-esque figure) off to see a play together, when one of the actors is murdered on stage!! Because someone swapped fake bullets for real ones! And the dead guy sucked and lots of people had motive! This is occasionally more melodramatic than the first book (romance-wise) and is also mildly silly, but I do enjoy reading a chill classic murder mystery. And I appreciate that the inspector is kind of a drama queen. A-/B+.
