It was planned as an act of charity: a new piano for the parish hall, an amusing play to finance the gift. The question now under bitter discussion is, who shall play the overture? Though Eleanor Prentice wins, on the night of the performance she cannot play. Miss Campanula steps triumphantly into the breach - a chord is struck, a shot rings out, and Miss Campanula is dead, shot between the eyes. A case of sinister infatuation for the brilliant Chief Detective-Inspector Alleyn. Overture to Death was first published in 1939.

the 5 star review is keeping in mind loving the gendre, mysteries written in the mid-twentieth century. if this is your forte, this book by Marsh is at the top of the heap. great characterizations of Englisn villagers in a by-gone era, clever plot, and a hero you can admire.
