Review: Police at the Funeral (an Albert Campion mystery, #4)
Gaby Meares
Albert Campion is an acquired taste, but I find him jolly good fun! Keep in mind that this was written in 1931, so has some very dated language, which didn’t bother me at all, but some readers may find it a challenge.
This is the fourth in the series, but stands alone without reading the others. It was a cracking whodunit, and Campion is in his element, feigning stupidity so others reveal themselves to him.
However, I don’t think this worked as an audiobook, as the narrator had trouble nailing Campion’s strange way of speaking - he made him sound very camp indeed! So I recommend reading this to yourself!
Allingham is considered one of the four Queens of Crime, and deservedly so. She is in fine form with Police at the Funeral. Thoroughly enjoyable.
