The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham

2.0

I feel guilty for this assessment, but this is so dated that it's almost unreadable. I'm disappointed, since I was hoping to find a good series to enjoy. I assume from what I've read online that Campion is intended to be a send-up of Peter Whimsey, and that part is fine with me, but the racial and class epithets are hard to take, even for a book written in 1929. The good old days were really sort of creepy.
