About this listen
In Safe as Houses, Margery Allingham delivers a gripping short mystery featuring her beloved detective, Albert Campion. When a seemingly straightforward real estate transaction takes a sinister turn, Campion finds himself drawn into a web of deception, greed, and unexpected danger.
A wealthy family's estate is at the center of a curious dispute, but what appears to be a routine legal matter soon escalates into a case of fraud, betrayal, and even murder. With his trademark wit, intelligence, and charm, Campion must unravel the hidden motives of those involved before more lives are at stake.
Blending classic detective fiction with Allingham's sharp storytelling and well-crafted suspense, Safe as Houses is a must-read for fans of the Golden Age of Mystery and those who appreciate a masterfully plotted whodunit.
