Pagan revelry and morris dancing in the middle of a very cold winter set the scene for one of Ngaio Marsh’s most fascinating murder mysteries.
When the pesky Anna Bünz arrives at Mardian to investigate the rare survival of folk-dancing still practised there, she quickly antagonizes the villagers. But Mrs Bünz is not the only source of friction – two of the other enthusiasts are also spoiling for a fight.
When the sword dancers’ traditional mock beheading of the Winter Solstice becomes horribly real, Superintendent Roderick Alleyn finds himself faced with a case of great complexity and of gruesome proportions…
Off with His Head is a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh; it is the nineteenth novel to feature Roderick Alleyn, and was first published in 1957. The plot concerns a village festival in the English countryside, and features Morris dancing among other folkloric elements. The novel was published as Death of a Fool in the United States, a reference to the fact that the murder victim is playing a Fool in the festival.
The novel is classed as a locked room mystery.

評分首先我要感谢我的豆瓣好友極楽蜻蛉の老罗，是他对日本森英俊、小林晋等编译的世界探偵小説全集中45部精彩的推理作品简要介绍的翻译，让这部Off with His Head进入我的视野之中。 这个日本著名推理小说评论家森英俊主持的系列丛书很神奇，没有过多地选择迎合大众的口味选择那些...

絮絮叨叨的敘事風格可以與阿婆一般的作品相比，然而讀者總會看在阿婆那幾部經典的份上不予過多計較，馬許則沒那麼好運瞭。犯案過程有點兒迷糊，也許原文就是如此，結尾解答偏弱，連帶讀者也掉進坑裏去。

评分感謝民翻，怪奇的民俗和不可能犯罪相結閤一嚮是我很接受的題材。本書的話氣氛和節奏把握的都不錯，看完後細細想來，詭計還真挺閤理的。就是這種形式的伏筆流我自己不太喜歡，讀解答篇的時候覺得不太舒暢。
评分太囉嗦瞭。。
评分說實話，探案過程有些悶，沒有什麼爆點，這可能也和馬許的寫作風格有關，畢竟她的故事要重於推理。解答上第一階段的解答畫麵感還不錯，最終解答就有點模糊和弱瞭。給最終這個不可能犯罪的解答來個三星半吧
