Mr Campion's Lucky Day and other storiesFirst published by Chatto & Windus Ltd. 1973 |
Three of the stories feature her much-loved detective Albert Campion and the arcane mysteries of clubland, blacking merchants and goat touters. One describes an episode in the crooked life of the unsavoury Thos. Knapp. There are also vengeful ghosts, kidnappers, bodysnatchers, a perfect butler and a lying parrot.
And when these are added to comedy and chills, murders and marriages, jealousy, jewels and justice of a kind - the result is the reader's lucky day, too.
