You go to a mans funeral in January and then he goes and dies again in June.
This is the mystery that Albert Campion and his irreverent man servant Lugg have to solve in this very funny wee book. Its only 128 pages.
Not a great technical murder mystery but Allingham's stories generally aren't, its very character driven and makes for great reading. It very nearly goes Wodehousian which is never bad thing,.
I can highly recommend anything Allingham wrote and she is still in print which says a lot for her quality. This was written in 1937.
