About this listen
When George Abbershaw is invited to Black Dudley Manor for the weekend, he has only one thing on his mind - proposing to Meggie Oliphant. Unfortunately for George, things don't quite go according to plan. A harmless game turns decidedly deadly and suspicions of murder take precedence over matrimony. Trapped in a remote country house with a murderer, George can see no way out. But Albert Campion can.
About the author: Margery Allingham was born in London in 1904. Her first novel was published when she was 17. In 1929 she published The Crime at Black Dudley and introduced the character who was to become the hallmark of her writing - Albert Campion.

Unconvincing story
Rather poor storyline with unconvincing explanation of the mystery ; stereotyped German villains- not her best book!

Good old fashioned mystery
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it was very well read. Lots of interesting characters, twists and turns in the plot and an interesting period piece.

Great story. Narrator can't do women.
I put up with this because I like Allinghan, but the narrator has NO idea about women's characters. His females are travesties of human beings... hysterical, madly stupid, vapid, or so 'camp' that it made me cringe.
Such a pity because he's good at story-telling and his male figures are fairly nuanced. He seems unable to image women as normal human beings ...brains and all.

So confusing and boring
Couldn’t keep track of who the characters were and wasn’t remotely interested in any of them and the plot (at least, the parts I could concentrate on) was completely ridiculous.
