Police at the Funeral, by Margery Allingham

Classic golden age mystery, good plot, and interestingly, in this one Albert Campion didn't anny me as much as he usually does.

Mystery Mile, by Margery Allingham

Nowhere near as good as Death of A Ghost. Campion really annoyed me in this.

I miss Agatha Christie.

Death of a Ghost, by Margery Allingham

Pretty fantastic - from the golden age of British mysteries.

Campion gets involved with an artistic community- the widow,models, family and assorted hangers-on of the late painter John Lafcadio, whose eccentric will left 12 paintings to be exhibited, one a year, after his death, to keep his name in the press and to annoy a rival.

At one of these annual showings, something goes terribly wrong.

Such a good read, and wonderful details about the mixing of the paints, the furnishings, the models, and the painting itself.

I'm trying to fill the yawning void that opened up when I realized that I think I've read all of Agatha Christie and have no more to look forward too- although, I am reading her plays and finding the little changes from book to stage interesting and (sometimes) satisfying- Vera and Lombard at the end of 10 Little Indians!
