Murder darkens the bright days of summer in an idyllic Suffolk village, in an Albert Campion mystery that is simply "e;unforgettable"e; (A.S. Byatt).Private detective Albert Campion's glorious summer in Pontisbright is blighted by death. Amidst the preparations for Minnie and Tonker Cassand's fabulous summer party, a murder is discovered-and it falls to Campion to unravel the intricate web of motives, suspicion and deception.Danger is hardly unknown in this idyllic rural village, but it is a less romantic peril than Campion faced on his first visit, more than twenty years ago . . ."e;My very favourite of the four Queens of Crime is Allingham."e; -J.
