Coroner's Pidgin | Margery Allingham
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY Agatha Christie called her a shining light. Have you discovered Margery Allingham, the 'true queen' of the classic murder mystery? Just returned from years overseas on a secret mission, private detective Albert Campion is relaxing in his bath when his servant Lugg and a lady of unmistakably aristocratic bearing appear in his flat carrying the corpse of a woman. At first Campion is unwilling to get involved, but he is forced to bring his powers of protection to bear on the case, and to solve not only the mystery of the murdered woman but also the alarming disappearance of some well-known art treasures. As urbane as Lord Wimsey...as ingenious as Poirot... Meet one of crime fictions Great Detectives, Mr Albert Campion.

I had to attend a long work event today, so I've only managed 5 hours and 5 minutes so far for #DeweysReadathon, but I did finish a couple of books, including Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and this Albert Campion mystery from 1945, a.k.a. Coroner's Pidgin (the UK title). This edition's cover has a real 1970's look!

My #24B4Monday total is now 10 hours and 5 minutes. #TeamStoker
