This review is from: Campion's Career: A Study of the Novels of Margery Allingham (Hardcover)
The author of this book gives us little more than a synopsis of the plots of the Marjorie Allingham books featuring Albert Campion.

To those who are interested in Allingham and Campion I would say, read the originals. In summation: a waste of the reader's time and money.
