Mystery Amateur Sleuth
This brand-new novel featuring Margery Allingham’s Mr
Campion recaptures the Golden Age of British Detective
Fiction. The Danish Ambassador has requested Albert Campion’s help
on ‘a delicate family matter’. He’s 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 Ambassador’s daughter and her beau disappear
without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of Margery Allingham’s regular
characters, from Campion’s former manservant Lugg, to his
wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant
mystery is sure to delight Allingham’s many fans. The
dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the
climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric.
