4.0

This installment of the Campion series is unlike any of the previous books. On one level it's a much more traditional murder mystery. However Allingham has played with the format, such that most of the people involved, including the police, are sure "whodunnit" fairly early on. But the how and the why and the proof are much harder to obtain.
