The Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham

3.0

This is more of a why-dunnit than a who-dunnit but nonetheless it is very gripping. London's fog is menacing and almost a character in its own right (it also sounds pretty full-on, glad we don't have anything quite like that any more), and this is a period piece in many ways. It rise above it's own particular time though too with a Miltonian struggle between good and evil (Susan Hill's words) which make for some thrilling set pieces.
