Mystery Amateur Sleuth
This brand-new novel featuring Margery Allinghamβs Mr Campion recaptures the Golden Age of British Detective Fiction. The Danish Ambassador has requested Albert Campionβs help on βa delicate family matterβ. Heβs very concerned about his eighteen-year-old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son, Rupert, to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up-and-coming photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the Ambassadorβs daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of Margery Allinghamβs regular characters, from Campionβs former manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allinghamβs many fans. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric.
