🔍 Are you fascinated by detectives who aren't quite what they appear to be? Join me for a deep dive into Margery Allingham's world, where her famous sleuth Albert Campion hides his clever mind behind a decidedly foolish facade.

📖 Allingham was born into a family of storytellers and was a child prodigy who earned her first writing fee at age eight, then went on to become one of the "Queens of Crime."

💫  Join me and discover why Margery Allingham stands alongside Christie and Sayers in the mystery hall of fame. 

Where to start reading Margery Allingham? 

The Crime at Black Dudley is a lighthearted mix of mystery and thriller.

If you want something a little darker, The Tiger in the Smoke (1952) focuses more on the psychology of a serial killer.
