A Night Of Errors

By Michael Innes

A gruelling night of shrouded motives and confused identities develops when the last of the Dromios is found murdered, with both of his hands burnt off. He was one of triplets, whose brothers had died in a fire forty years previously. Inspector Appleby wrenches the facts from a melodrama in which the final solution is written in fire.

Reviews for A Night Of Errors

[mausergem_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a Inspector Appleby mystery. It is filled with complex plot twists and is quite entertaining.

[cmbohn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This tale of triplets and a family curse of sorts is full of drama and unexpected twists. Appleby doesn't make his appearance until well into the book, which might account for the slow start. But the sense of something horrible waiting at the end is there right from the opening pages, and the book doesn't disappoint. CMB

Fun read. The Appleby mysteries used to be a favorite of mine and I hadn't read this one before. This book had the literate, somewhat tricky and ridiculous plot that some of the earlier ones had. I liked it but the plot did seem really ridiculous. Also, until this book, I hadn't realized that Appleby had retired from the CID after his marriage because in later books he was back with Scotland yard.

Appleby has left Scotland Yard following his marriage but still gets talked into helping the local police inspector when murder strikes the Dromio family.While this plot is convoluted in typical Innes fashion, this 11th entry in the series is more of a straight-forward police procedural than several of the previous books. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, I found this one of the more entertaining books so far.
