Traitor's Purse by Margery Allingham
5.0
Ok, I'm back in the Campion camp. After the infuriating and disappointing misogyny of "the Fashion in Shrouds", I swore off Allingham for several months. But sick with food poisoning, and wanting to listen to something reassuringly finite and comprehensible, I took a chance with "Traitor's Purse" - and was well rewarded.
I thought this a terriffic book - my favorite next to the thrill ride of "Miracle Mile". The mystery is engaging, but not nearly so much as the device - no spoilers! - Allingham uses to tell the story and keep the plot moving along.
I could nitpick about the characterization of Amanda Finton, and the manner her relationship with Campion is resolved of during the story, but am willing to overlook it given my enjoyment of this book.
