The China Governess by Margery Allingham

2.0

Usually I enjoy Allingham's Campion mysteries but wow, this one was pretty bad. There's not a traditional crime that is being solved. It's all about finding the biological parents of a guy who was adopted into a wealthy family. When he finds out he is adopted, he "can't" marry his fiancee because - gasp - what if his bio family have mental illness!? The horror! Everyone thinks this reason perfectly logical.

Campion and Lugg are barely in the book and don't really do much to solve the very lame mystery that is being presented. What a disappointing read.
