Mystery MileMargery Allingham
Insert Review Text Judge Lobbitt has left the United States for London to avoid Sinister, the overlord of a worldwide gangster ring. He has a clue to finally identify Sinister, yet still has to find the meaning of it. His life has been threatened in New York, with other people dying in his stead. His daughter and son take him on a ship across the atlantic. He meets young Albert Campion on ship. Campion saves the judge's life by keeping the judge from being electrocuted. When they land, Marlowe Lobbitt, the judge's son, convinces Albert to take on protecting the judge. Campion applies to his friends in the country and moves the Lobbitt family to the stately home at Mystery Mile. His friends Giles and Biddie welcome the Lobbitts into their homes and into their hearts. This novel is my introduction to Albert Campion. My sister has been recommending these novels for years. I just never quite got that far. But this book was sitting there on the shelf when I needed a new book on tape. Now I understand the appeal. I noticed that one website has termed this series as "Cozy" - an apt description. Campion's life is in serious danger before done, yet the tone of the novel is friendly and fun. If you haven't discovered Albert Campion yet, you'll like Mystery Mile. You can find more about this book at The Black Dudley Murder |
