The Crime At Black Dudley- Margery Allingham

Aimée recommends:

‘A suspicious death and a haunted family heirloom were not advertised when Dr George Abbershaw and a group of London’s brightest young things accept an invitation to the mansion of Black Dudley’.

If you, like me find your happy place in Golden Age, cozy crime (à la Agatha Christie) then this is the one for you. Undisputedly more literary and better written than Christie, this is the first of a series that introduces my favourite peculiar, pompous young sleuth Albert Campion.

Perfect for fans of: Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon and Edmund Crispin
