The scenario might strike you as yet another imitation of
Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were
None. Maybe you’ve read that book, and you might think to yourself that you
are therefore very well-equipped to solve the crime. Well… so do the characters
in Nine Man’s Murder. They are fully
prepared to sidestep the mistakes made by the characters in that book (and
incidentally, the solution to that book is spoiled in this one, but it’s out of
necessity, so fair warning). Yet somehow, the killer manages to outfox them all
and one by one the guest list gets shorter.
