Review: Look to the Lady (Albert Campion Mystery, #3)

Unfortunately for this novel, I will now always compare Margery Allingham’s books to The Tiger in the Smoke, which is outstanding. So, Look to the Lady rather pales in comparison.
This is only number three in the Albert Campion series, and Allingham is still fleshing out the character. On first appearance, he is vague, foppish and a little bit foolish. But you soon realize that this is a facade which enables him to hear and see more, as the villains assume he is all of the above!
I was hoping this novel would contain some of the sinister elements that The Tiger in the Smoke featured, but, alas, it does not. In fact, I found it all a bit ho-hum and disappointing.
I’m note sure I will bother with any other Albert Campion mysteries.
