  • Margery Louise Allingham was an English novelist from the "Golden Age of Detective Fiction", best remembered for her hero, the gentleman sleuth Albert Campion.
    Initially believed to be a parody of Dorothy L. Sayers's detective Lord Peter Wimsey, Campion matured into a strongly individual character, part-detective, part-adventurer, who formed the basis for 18 novels and many short stories.

    It’s a beautiful day in March and I’m stuck in bed poorly.
    A wonderful story, but I did get confused with a couple of characters
    I need to hear another of her stories.
    I wonder why she’s not as famous as Agatha Christie as her stories are just as good
    Thank you ☺️

    These radio dramas are really entertaining and I'm thoroughly enjoying them, but I can't get over how cool the Brits are when a murder happens right under their noses, then when they're told that THE murderer is in the house WITH them, they not only manage to stay calm but carry on as if they've nothing on their minds except their next cup of tea.
