Mr Campion's Seance by Mike Ripley
5.0
I’m usually somewhat dubious when one of my favorite detectives is “resurrected” for a new generation of readers by a modern author. Mike Ripley,however, gets Margery Allingham’s Albert Campion as perfectly as if he were taking spirit dictation from beyond the grave. Lugg, Amanda, Officers Yeo, Oates and Luke are all ear-perfect as well. The lively banter among them is straight from the golden age, and Campion’s essential decency and kindness shines through with entire authenticity.
Mr Campion’s Seance spans the years immediately following WWII through the early 60’s (and how old is Campion, exactly by then???)
Like Amanda, I was itching to get a two month start on all the other fans of my favorite detective. My sincere thanks to Mike Ripley and Severn House for an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
