Summary
In Hide My Eyes, Campion finds himself hunting down a serial killer. A spate of murders leaves him and his friend and colleague Inspector Luke, with only the baffling clues of a left-hand glove and a lizard-skin lettercase. However a chain of strange events leads them to an odd museum of curiosities hidden in a quiet London neighbourhood where there is more going on than meets the eye.

NOT REALLY A CAMPION BOOK
I waited so long for story, and Campions part in it to get going that I was disappointed before I even got halfway. By the time I realised Campion only had a very small input to this story I had failed to enjoy the story itself. It was not what I expected as it was sold as a Campion novel .... so I did not get what I wanted.

Brilliant!
My favourite of the Campion books, a brilliantly clever story. Marjory Allingham was such a skilled story teller

Unexpected
This is listed as a Albert Campion story, but he plays a very minor role. This I found disappointing, as part of the enjoyment of these stories is his quirky personality. For that reason I didn't enjoy this as much as other Margery Allingham books.

Strong plot
I regret that Campion seems to play a smaller and smaller part as the series goes on - but the clever plotting and insightful characters make listening well worth it.

Well crafted story
Enjoyable, a well defined villain & likeable heroes. The only fault I found was that it went into a bit of a gallop at the end….

Dark modern picture of a psychopath
Written in '58 this is a very modern portrait of a serial killer devoid of any "silly" scruples about murder.

Exciting Story Well Read
What made the experience of listening to Hide My Eyes the most enjoyable?
This is a pacey story - moving much faster than the other Campion books. Luke plays a key role and although I didn't like the voice this reader gave him the story was very gripping and enjoyable.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Campion - who else in one of these books?
What about David Thorpe’s performance did you like?
I freely admit that Philip Franks is my absolute favourite for reading these books but he never recorded this one. David Thorpe did very well and gave each character a different voice.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
That would give away the plot. There are several poignant moments when someone realises the truth in stages.

The best one yet
Margery Allingham is clearly under-rated. I've listened to a few of hers now, they're always gripping and with a good balance of the human touch. This was the best I've listened to yet. You know who the criminal is from the start, and yet the character explorations and twists and turns make it utterly gripping. Just don't listen to it as you're going to bed!

Ruined by appalling narration
Another classic ruined by Audible's choice of narrator. Charlie Luke has been reduced to a pastiche of a Cockney barrow boy and Campion has had a total personality removal.
