Fancy Dress Ball

E-Book


Mr. Farjeon is a perfect master in the art of suspense. We know of no one more capable of keeping our hair standing rigidly on end and yet of explaining away the horrors of the night clearly enough to satisfy the demands of reason in the cold bright light of morning. His latest murder mystery is set in the Albert Hall—on the night of nights, the Chelsea Arts Ball on New Year’s Eve. In this setting of dancing and gaiety and bright lights, he introduces among the light-hearted assembly various characters in fancy dress who foregather at the famous ball and involuntarily play their parts in a terrific drama.
