Stopped by my favourite used bookstore last night on the way to a show and picked up a few things. Technically I bought only five books because the Lillian Beckwith is for my mum.

Campion and Lugg remind me a little bit of the Eleventh Doctor and Strax 😜 I blame the round glasses, the baldness and the overall Doctor Who free association that comes with having Peter Davison in this role.
pickI needed a light read after Sapiens and this cosy crime fitted the bill. Delightful writing, eccentric English characters (including Campion, a Sherlock Holmes -esque amateur detective) and Cambridge setting. The investigation takes its time = from another era! But assured writing and sense of humour make it an enjoyable read. 🕵
A fun read. I can't remember who recommended Margery Allingham, so I'll #blameitonlitsy. Hard to see the book & 🍷 but I thought better to show the view! 😉🌞
pickSlightly belated I know, but here's what I read in August. And I recommend Albert Campion (Margery Allingham's detective) to anyone who likes Peter Wimsey and other gentleman detectives in the 1920s and 30s.
pickAlbert Campion is such an interesting character - much less whole heartedly on the side of justice than say Peter Wimsey - and this is a good example of that - he's investigating what happened, but you're not 100% sure he's going to hand over the culprit to the police depending on who the murderer is!
