A review by kellyjreads
Look to the Lady by Margery Allingham
5.0
(Note to self when you can't find this book: My copy was the American title "The Gyrth Chalice Mystery.")
I'm totally in love with Albert Campion. No more stuffed-shirt, Golden Aged armchair detectives. I want reckless young men with shady pasts and big hearts who know literally everyone and also do this for money. I also love Mr. Lugg. A mother hen/convict servant -- the best combo in the book. Another rip-roaring adventure out in the country. I loved the supernatural elements of this one and there is not a better quote than:
"...we must find out the man employed by this society, and murder him?"
Mr. Campion surveyed his visitor with the utmost gravity.
"Shall we say 'dispose of him'?"
