It's getting to the point that once you've seen one pre-code murder mystery, you've seen them all. This is another "ho hum," murder-in-a-mansion, high-society drama, full of pretentious rich folks with horrible accents.
"The Devil Plays" is very blase. Let's see, you've got rich people in a manor, a mysterious death, a lot of guilty looking people, and a crime novel writer there to help solve the case. The only thing missing were lights going off and secret passageways. The captain even demanded all the party guests come down to his office where you knew the killer would be outed in, usually, a simplistic or foolish way. In this case the killer(s) had money and letters on them--key pieces of evidence, because criminals always walk into police stations with incriminating evidence on them.
