Death Invades the Meeting is a 1944 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street.[1][2] It is the thirty ninth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective.[3] Reviewing the novel for the Times Literary Supplement Maurice Willson Disher noted "His ingenuity is becoming as delicate to handle as high explosive. His stories may become so difficult to review without saying too much that his triumph will come when they cannot, for discretion’s sake, be reviewed at all."
