Death on the Board

Death on the Board is a 1937 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street. It is the twenty sixth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective. It was published in the United States by Dodd Mead under the slightly altered title Death Sits on the Board.

Isaac Anderson in The New York Times considered "The reader may not have much difficulty in spotting the murderer, but he will not find it so easy to figure out the hows and whys of the case. The murders are most ingeniously planned and executed, and even Dr. Priestley is put to a severe test before the story is ended. This is easily the best of the recent Dr. Priestley mysteries."
