More Work for the Undertaker by Margery Allingham

4.0

Another really good Albert Campion mystery. This is in the detective part of the Campion series, rather than the adventure-y end. He's getting a bit older by this point, so there's less running around and obvious danger, but he's not slowing down at all. He starts this book seemingly having been offered the governorship of an unnamed island but is still quite happy (in fact probably happier) moving into a boarding house to investigate a poisoning. The street surrounding the boarding house is full of eccentrics, and dubious characters and it's totally engrossing. It's probably not the best book to pick for your first Campion though - as there's very little explanation of his background and the reoccurring characters so I imagine if this was your first encouter with Albert, it might be a little baffling.
