About this listen

Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral.

Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peter's body goes missing. It takes all Campion's coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime.

Margery Allingham was a prolific writer who sold her first story at age eight and published her first novel before turning 20. Allingham went on to become one of the preeminent writers who helped bring the detective story to maturity in the 1920s and 1930s.

Critic reviews

"Allingham has that rare gift in a novelist, the creation of characters so rich and so real that they stay with the reader forever" (Sara Paretsky )

Classic Campion

When in the mood for lighthearted murder and mayhem, I usually turn to Albert Campion. This one is especially good, as Mr. Campion is not only our sleuth but our narrator too, giving us the full force of his enjoyably flippant approach to detection. And David Thorpe plays him – and everyone else – to perfection.
