A review by kiwikathleen
Death of a Ghost by Margery Allingham

4.0

Another good series that I'm following, and I found I preferred this one to most of the others. What I liked less about the others is the frequent description of our Campion as vacuous-looking. It's an affectation of course, and fools a lot of people, and therefore most useful, but she (Allingham) does rather tend to highlight it frequently. In this book, however, he never resorted to that and instead played it straight.

Clever story, definite a thing of its time (1930s) but the fun characters and little twists and turns make it a very good read.
