Yes indeed, there were 2 runners up this month - and only one vote between them and the winner, to stop it being a 3-way tie!

Well, I shall give Margery Allingham another try and look forward to reading the first Campion book :)

[Judy]

I'm excited as he is one of my favourites although this is a slightly odd book - should be lots to discuss anyway! :)

[Abigail]

I didn’t initially vote for it because I reread it just over a year ago, but it will be fun to revisit it in a group! I do love Albert (and Lugg).

[Michelle]

I agree that it is odd! Just finished reading it. Quite bizarre but not unenjoyable. Will be an interesting discussion.

Just popped into a charity shop on the way to meet a friend for lunch and there was The Crime At Black Dudley waiting for me to buy it!

[Susan]

That's wonderful, Pamela :) So nice when a book finds a good home!
