“Exceptional ... Both old and new Campion fans will hope for many more exploits”

“Filled with dry wit, laugh-out-loud banter, well-paced action, and quirky characters, this latest opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the ever-charming Campion will delight series fans old and new”

“A highly satisfying showdown”

“Ripley spins a head-scratching whodunit while effectively recreating Allingham’s tone and characters. This clever continuation of a beloved series keeps getting better”

“Albert remains a winning protagonist, possessed of both eccentric charm and dry wit, and this time Ripley gives him a particularly meaty case, full of noteworthy twists. Another winner in a reliably entertaining series”

“Wicked fun, sedate yet intricately plotted – a highlight in the series”

“Neatly combines humour and mystery”

“Sparkling, sublime”

“You can trust Campion (along with his grizzly bear of an assistant, Magersfontein Lugg), just as you can trust the talented Mr Ripley”

“Wonderfully genteel, appealingly old-fashioned, gently humorous, always entertaining, and eminently readable”
