Product Description

Review

'Margery Allingham is notable for the energy and inventiveness of her writing' P. D. James 'Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light' Agatha Christie


Product Description

Judge Crowdy Lobbett has found evidence pointing to the identity of the criminal mastermind behind the deadly Simister gang. After four attempts on his life, he ends up seeking the help of the enigmatic and unorthodox amateur sleuth, Albert Campion. After Campion bundles Lobbett off to a country house in Mystery Mile deep in the Suffolk countryside, all manner of adventures ensue. It's a race against time for Campion to get the judge to safety and decipher the clue to their mysterious enemy's name. Luckily for Judge Lobbett, underneath his constant stream of nonsensical banter, Campion displays a diamond-sharp intelligence and a natural detective's instinct...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art Deco Detective story, 4 Nov 2007
By Antony F. Potter "teepot2" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mystery Mile (Paperback)
Intrepid hero with attitude takes on subtle forces of darkness with the doubtful help of the comic, the profane and the reassuringly stupid character supporting cast. The plot rackets along with the total assurance of a Mistress of the genre. The characters are always interestingly original and Albert Campion is a triumph of the art deco period. Margery Allingham cannot be said to be underated but she is certainly under celebrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simister is deeply sinister, 22 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystery Mile (Classic Crime) (Paperback)
Quite frankly anyone who could come up with a gang called after a man named 'Simister' and then describe it as 'sinister' has got it coming. That aside, this is probably one of the best Campion stories with lots of action and a good twist at the end. There are also lots of local yokels, two love stories and a bit of dodgy fortune telling. Not to mention a mysterious suicide and some very important quicksand. What more could you want?

3.0 out of 5 stars Period crime piece with lively events and characterisation, 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystery Mile (Classic Crime) (Paperback)
The second of Allingham's "Campion" books, which begins the development of his character from the fop of "The Crime at Black Dudley" to the serious amateur of the later novels. It starts off with the electrification of a mouse that leads to Campion being called upon to provide a safe haven for an American Judge Lobett from the sinister Simister gang. Local colour and atmosphere, intriguing characters: a good place to start getting to know and love Allingham's insights viewed through Campion's "Everyman". Not overly well paced but nevertheless a good period read, with hints of the wonders to come in "Tiger in the Smoke", especially the darker side of humanity as well as the eccentricities.

A really good Campion novel. The plot is well thought out, although the Simister gang seems perhaps a little dated now. Read more
