Private detective Albert Campion’s glorious summer in Pontisbright is blighted by death. Amidst the preparations for Minnie and Tonker Cassand’s fabulous summer party a murder is discovered and it falls to Campion to unravel the intricate web of motives, suspicion and deception. Danger is hardly unknown in this idyllic Suffolk village, but it is a less romantic peril than on Mr Campion’s first visit, more than twenty years ago. ‘Margery Allingham has precious few peers and no superiors.’ – The Sunday Times ‘Allingham’s work is always of the first rank.’- New York Times ‘Unforgettable.’ – A.S. Byatt
