The Case of the Late Pig
The Case of the Late Pig | Margery Allingham
3 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
A man is killed five months after his funeral, in a tale by one of the greatest mid-20th-century practitioners of the detective novel (Alexander McCall Smith). Private detective Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral. Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peterss body goes missing. It takes all Campions coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime. The Case of the Late Pig is, uniquely, narrated by Campion himself. In Allinghams inimitable style, high drama sits neatly beside pitch-perfect black comedy. A heady mix of murder, romance, and the urbane detective's own unglamorous past make this an Allingham mystery not to be missed. My very favourite of the four Queens of Crime is Allingham.J. K. Rowling Margery Allingham deserves to be rediscovered.P.D. James

Well, this was a quick bail! I gave it a half an hour, and didn‘t enjoy a single minute of it. One more book off my shelf, and the first book scratched off of my #bookspinbingo.

TheAromaofBooks I have also struggled with Allingham. I think she just isn't for me!! 4y
deirdrebeecher A lot of Allighams novels aged badly. I prefer her short stories. But I will never get over a line in one novel where she says what a female character needs is 'a good rape'. 😡 4y

Look at this lovely stack of books a coworker brought in for me! And he said he has more as well! At least another 3 stacks. 🤩🤩🤩

Now if only he had the means to tell me I could just read for 8 hours for work instead. 🤔😜🤓

Yeah, no, it‘s late. @aroc I‘m so sorry I didn‘t get your #dystopianblues package out on time. ☹️ I‘ll mail it as soon as I can and let you know once I post it. I‘m waiting on one more thing for your box. Bad bookswap friend. Very bad. 💩
