Fiction. Mystery. Historical Fiction. HTML:This brand-new novel featuring Margery Allingham's Mr Campion recaptures the Golden Age of British Detective Fiction.
The Danish Ambassador has requested Albert Campion's help on 'a delicate family matter'. He's very concerned about his eighteen-year-old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son, Rupert, to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up-and-coming photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the Ambassador's daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon.
With appearances from all of Margery Allingham's regular characters, from Campion's former manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allingham's many fans. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric.

Oh, I enjoyed this so very much more than Allingham's writing. I was not confused by Ripley's writing, he was not attempting to be clever nor were his characters affected.

The story was easy to read & held my interest.

Albert & Amanda's son, Rupert is now an adult and married to Perdita; all four become involved in the mystery of a diplomats missing daughter.

A Danish Diplomat wants to know more about the "unsuitable" young man his 18-year old daughter is in love with. Overhearing his conversation, Lugg recommends Albert., who in turn sends Rupert to investigate.

The young man is found w/ his head smashed in and his motorcycle in the lagoon but they young woman is nowhere to be found. While searching for the young woman Rupert & Perdita come across many people who are not who they appear to be....

I liked the story and I liked the characters (as quirky as they were, but not overly so). ( )

A little too contrived for my taste. ( )
