Margery Allingham's Mr Campion finds himself a fish out of water when he investigates a murder in a Yorkshire mining village. Following the death of the senior English master in a tragic road accident, Mr Campion's son Rupert and daughter-in-law Perdita are helping out at Ash Grange School for Boys, where Perdita's godfather is headmaster. While Perdita is directing the end-of-term play, a musical version of Dr Faustus, Rupert is tackling the school's rugby football team - and both of them are finding their allotted tasks more of a challenge than they had anticipated. When the headmaster telephones Albert Campion to inform him that Rupert has been arrested, Mr Campion heads to Yorkshire to get to the bottom of the matter. There are no secrets in the traditional mining village of Denby Ash, he's told - but on uncovering reports of a disruptive poltergeist, a firebrand trade unionist, a missing conman and a local witch, he finds that's far from being the case. And was the English master, Mr Browne's, death really an accident . . .' No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Albert's part was boring; his son's, Rupert, & daughter-in-law's, Perdita, were good.
Rupert & Perdita arrive at a school in a coal-mining town to help out after the death of one of the teachers: Rupert as Rugby coach & Perdita as Drama Coach.
The dead man was investigating a poltergeist that rattled & boomed the same house every Thursday night at the same time.
Two hard-core criminals, who were cellmates in Whitehall Prison have gone to ground.
A pair of schoolboys are set upon by a pair of thugs on motorcycles after visiting the local "Witch" asking her to exorcise the poltergeist.
Then Albert arrives, and why it took 3 paragraphs & 2/3 of a page to describe Albert driving over a stone bridge was far far beyond me & so I skipped to almost the end.
But other than Campion being a bore, it was a good story line. ( )
