A review by ssejig
Dancers in Mourning by Margery Allingham

3.0

Eager to get away to his country escape and practice his new play, Jimmy Sutane is also eager to avoid the practical jokes that have been plaguing him. But the jokes follow him to the country and escalate to the point of death. It's up to Albert Campion, also at the house party, to figure out who wanted to kill an aging actress (once a beautiful starlet.) But he's grappling with his own set of problems; falling in love with Jimmy Sutane's wife just isn't a gentlemanly thing to do.

I have seen the television show with Peter Davison and thought that it was very true to this book. Scenes from those episodes kept running through my brain. It took me quite awhile to get through this book and I'm not sure why but it is highly enjoyable.
