Death of a Ghost by Margery Allingham

4.0

First book I read of Margery Allingham. Her writing style reminded me a bit of Virginia Woolf, I had to read a sentence multiple times to understand the humour, and the depth of the meaning behind her words. And she writes of human behaviour so very well - like it's mentioned in most reviews, it's a howdunit and not a whodunit, we know who's the murderer quite early in the story, and there aren't any red herrings as such, but the story takes precedence, and the motive.
A pretty good read to get introduced to her writing style, and her detective, Albert Campion. Though my favourite of the characters in this book was Belle Darling! The seventy year old matriarch of the Lafcadio family.
Definitely gonna pick up more from this series!
