Just returned from years overseas on a secret mission, Albert Campion is relaxing in his bath when his servant Lugg and a lady of unmistakably aristocratic bearing appear in his flat carrying the corpse of a woman.

At first Campion is unwilling to get involved, but he is forced to bring his powers of protection to bear on the case, and to solve not only the mystery of the murdered woman but also the alarming disappearance of some well-known art treasures.

"Miss Allingham is one of the few writers who can deal with art. Both her passions and her patterns are beautiful, accurate and serene" ( Daily Telegraph)
"Margery Allingham has worked her way up to a worthy place among the tiny hierarchy of front-rankers in the detective world" ( Tatler)
"The real queen of crime" ( Guardian)

At times I really had a hard time with the narrator and that made the story hard to follow.

Narration not brilliant

I only discovered Margery Allingham quite recently. Another favourite author, Christopher Fowler, mentioned her in his Book of Forgotten Authors and, stumbling across her again here, I thought I would dip in.
I feel like I've struck a diamond mine and the more I dig, the bigger the diamonds get!
These books do not feel their age at all. They are as fresh as if they were written yesterday. Her turn of phrase, her characters, are very real. So much more alive than any of Christie's. Campion and Lugg are wonderful and their relationship matures as they age through the books.
There is no formula to the writing, she seems to dip in and out of various kinds of crime fiction. Every book is a journey that we embark on with her characters.
Sometimes they feel so written for TV! I wasn't surprised to find TV had made a stab at them, pretty successfully, but sadly only eight of the books.
Here, we find Albert with constant background anxiety about the need to catch a train. We want him to sort out the mystery so he can get his train. We are anxious with him! And yet it's written so lightly, so beautifully.
Excellent book!
Each one becomes my new favourite!
I shall be so sad when they run out.
Much is said about the wrongness of the narrator. I was startled by him in the first book and preferred Frances Matthews' reading of the second, but, now I'm deep in, I find I much prefer David Thorpe. He does the prep work to get tones and voices perfectly as written. He gives comic turn where appropriate but still gives gravitas to the more sombre patches. I love him.

Excellent.

This mystery has you guessing who are friends and who are enemies. Read brilliantly again by David Thorpe.

Allingham is such a good writer and really understands how war changes everyone and everything. Good mystery really well narrated. Highly recommended

Full of the atmosphere of wartime, excellently done

But wonderfully narrated as always from David Thorpe - and enough interesting period detail to be fun.

Not his best
