The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham

3.0

Written in the 1920s, this reads like a pulpy thriller of the time. The story is frenetic, with a few instances of the "ghost in the machine," but the language is fun and old timey. I especially liked the descriptions of Black Dudley (a manor), and the gothic piece of the story it inspired. I'm curious about the next one in the series, both to see how Campion is developed as a character and if the plotting improves.
