Good mystery. British book but I really missed the British flavor which I love in Agatha Christie or that other lady who writes so many Victorian Era/World War I era British mystery/thrillers.

I picked this up because somebody said it was one of their favorites. It was good, but it didn't make me stop doing the dishes.

A wonderful classic crime novel.

This is an classic Who-dun-it mystery in the Agatha Christie mold. There are murders, a cast of memorable characters, and our unflappable hero, Campion, must figure out who , how, and why. The writing and language were a bit difficult for me at first, but after I became accustomed to it, I think it added to the 1930s, upper crust English atmosphere. Thanks to Ishrita, my reading partner, for suggesting a book I would otherwise never have tried.

My favourite Allingham of the ones I've read so far. I'd have given it 5 stars if I didn't feel that the resolution was a bit of a cop out.
