Welcome to Litsy!

Another Golden Age crime series that I am reading hopelessly out of order! I liked this. I thought it was clever and well-plotted and a little unusual in that the murderer is actually revealed well before the end… It‘s not my favourite Campion so far, but a good read.

Current audiobook.

One thing that impresses me about Allingham is her range of tone. If the last book (Sweet Danger) was a gloriously silly romp that brought out the best of Albert's eccentricities, this was a darker story and as a result a more subdued mood for our Universal Uncle and Amateur Adventurer. My grumpy Sherlock bookmark disapproves of my reading about other detectives...

I don't usually take a tea break in the afternoon but I'm struggling to get to the end of the working day! Time for coffee and Campion.

Camping out with Campion after a trek out to Davids Tea to fill up some tea tins. Currently drinking a pu'erh tea called Hot Chocolate.

A blurb from Agatha Christie never lies. There aren't many murder mysteries where the killer is known halfway through and it still works...
