Welcome to Litsy!

This one was so good! Campion is beginning to be less of a fun but flimsy Wimsey pastiche and more of a character in his own right. The plot is fun, engaging and has a thriller-ish edge and a tense, action-packed denouement that marks Allingham out from her contemporaries. There's also a line of humour that makes it just irresistible.

Temptation!

Ehh...sounds like an interesting sort of test, but how does it work, exactly?

Relistening to one of my favourite of the Albert Campion stories. If you've read Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers and haven't tried Margery Allingham, you're missing out. Albert may have started as a bit of a Peter Wimsey send up, but he takes on a life of his own and becomes much, much more.
