🔍 Are you fascinated by detectives who aren't quite what they appear to be? Join me for a deep dive into Margery Allingham's world, where her famous sleuth Albert Campion hides his clever mind behind a decidedly foolish facade.

The Crime at Black Dudley is a lighthearted mix of mystery and thriller.
If you want something a little darker, The Tiger in the Smoke (1952) focuses more on the psychology of a serial killer.
