Mystery Mile by Margery Allingham

3.0

Enjoyable classic crime novel set in a remote village in 'Little England' pre war. Well written and the melodrama drips. Villages, vicars, deep countryside, chess piece clues, the gentry and the not so gentrified, dark foreign villains etc - it's all here and put down wonderfully on paper. Not a great deal of political correctness and modern ladies may take deep breaths while reading but good stuff all the same.
