As with all Marjorie Alllingham plots, you have to concentrate! This was hugely satisfying. What a wonderful narrator Francis Matthews was. He understood every nuance. Thank you!

Superb narrator Francis Matthews - at once calming and mesmerising. Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

All I can do is agree with all the other posts! Thank you for the upload.

Excellent. A fascinating story, well written and superbly read. Thank you so much for posting

Thank you for this splendid story by Margery Allingham superbly narrated by Francis Mathews. The main character Albert Campion always has such exhausting trials to face until he can barely stand up. It was a lovely to hear his return home to Amanda and his son Rupert at last. Thank you for uploading. Xxxx

First class story and narrator...thanks for the upload....I've just seen a few more by the same author 😀that's my night listening sorted for the next fortnight....much obliged✌️👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Francis Matthews is a sublime storyteller very enjoyable indeed

Really enjoying this! Love the reader. Thank you.

I can't listen to any books that are not read with the British Accent.. Lol I have come to really enjoy the way they talk.. Adds so much more to a story..

Thank you for posting. Very interesting and great narrator.

Oh P l e a s e ! More Green&White Penguin Mysteries. I would love to own the complete selection! Thanks for posting!

Excellent narrator and story

The narrator really captures the extreme arrogant silliness of the Dowager. Not that he does anything badly here.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this - thank you.

AAAH a Campion story. Excellent.

Love Campion, of course and the reader is perfect. Thank you so much.

Thank you for posting. Love the narration.

Wonderful story! Thank you very much!

I was painting my kitchen while listening, and this fine work did not get my full attention. Might have to listen again...I missed some stuff!

What a story! It would make a great film, but could not do better than this extraordinary reader. Thank you so much!!!

great story - thanks

Just started listening - thanks for the upload

All we need now are Fashion in Shrouds and Flowers for the Judge. Shrouds: the abridged version with Peter Davison, AND the full version read by Francis Matthews. I know Fashion in shrouds is "problematic", but it's worth reading Allingham's original version before she cut 25,000 words from it after the War.

I was looking for this under a different name, aka Pearls Before Swine. Happy me!

betterr than a book yeah

Who is telling the story? He's got such a super voice I can really see the story come to life. I so love listening 😍 Thank you

Thank you so very much.

This, I think, is my favorite book. Unless it's The Case of the Late Pig which hasn't been uploaded ... or ... Death of a Ghost which also hasn't been uploaded either. But they MUST be narrated by Francis Matthews who IS Campion.

I agree the accent adds alot

Thank you

Subbed h thumbs upped.

Many thanks 🙏

Just returned from years overseas on a secret mission, private detective Albert Campion is relaxing in his bath when his servant Lugg and a lady of unmistakably aristocratic bearing appear in his flat carrying the corpse of a woman. At first Campion is unwilling to get involved, but he is forced to bring his powers of protection to bear on the case, and to solve not only the mystery of the murdered woman but also the alarming disappearance of some well-known art treasures.

Yesssssss😁

Topping!

The music cuts off the occasional sentence (or perhaps more,its hard to tell)

Narrator Francis Matthews

This is the first time I'm seeing this title of the story and I thought I read pigeon as you can see even my voice to text is spelling it the way I am used to seeing it also very funny when you mispronounce it

Pity that this one has to be punctuated with the "copyright busting" music, but still good

Good reader, great story. HOWEVER, every so often there would be this interruption of the story with this gawd awful noise that could be interpreted as music. It ruined the experience.

boring............
