I love the Queens of Crime, but must admit that Allingham presents her mystery in ways that are a little tricky for me to understand. Granted in this book Campion is quite lost himself, but I still found it difficult to keep up with the revelations and clues, and I didn’t find the end very satisfying because of this. HOWEVER, that could just be me, and it was still a fun adventure of a book.
