merelybookish @vivastory I love Munro! I am hoping read and reread her books over the next year or so. I own most of them but this is one I don't have. 6mo
merelybookish @Texreader @Ruthiella I know! I was eyeing a few others and wondering if I should go back. 😬😆 6mo
vivastory “Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You“ was one of my favorite reads of '22. I'm eyeing “The Beggar Maid“ as my next read as it looks to be a collection of interconnected stories, which I love 6mo
TheBookHippie I‘m here to add more Alice love! What great find! 6mo
merelybookish @vivastory I haven't read Something yet but enjoyed The Beggar Maid last year. And yes, they are linked. So is her first collection 6mo

LeahBergen Awesome! Two DE Stevensons that I don‘t own, too. I would‘ve scrambled over you to get at them if we were shopping together. 🤣🤣 6mo
merelybookish @LeahBergen Lol. I thought of you! 😄 I could have used your expertise. There were quite a few Stevenson books and I didn't know which ones to choose. So I did some googling. 6mo

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.

Tonton Love Campion! 6y

Temptation!

Libby1 Sweet danger is right. 7y
charl08 For once I avoided a purchase. But it was a close run thing... 7y
LauraBrook I'd want to push the contents of both shelves into a cart and run straight to the checkout line! 7y
charl08 @laurabrook it's a lovely shop @ Liverpool Bluecoat. 7y

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.
