Chief Inspector Macdonald has been invited to a treasure hunt party at the house of the Graham Coombe, the celebrated publisher of Murder by Mesmerism. The clues of the hunt have been devised by Coombe's thriller-writer friends, disguised on the night under literary pseudonyms. The fun comes to an abrupt end, however, when 'Samuel Pepys' is found murdered in the telephone room in bizarre circumstances. Amidst the confusion of too many fake names and convoluted alibis, Macdonald and his allies in the CID must unravel a truly tangled case in this metafictional masterpiece from the beloved Golden Age author.

Once I got the basic plot mechanics and rules, which is usually pretty much what a mystery is, I was still lost. I guess it might be a problem in that it was a mystery written by and for an English person. Also an Englishperson who had an upper English style education from the time period (the 1930’s).
Anyway, it was just too high falutin’ for me. I got very little enjoyment from it.

I think this book might do better in written form as it would be possible to keep the large cast of characters straight.
