![]() ![]() If you are violently and unreasonably attracted to a married woman, to discover immediately afterwards that to the best of your belief her husband has killed, either by accident or design, a previous wife…….do you involve yourself further in the situation, denouncing him for his crime and walking off with the lady? ‘No, you don’t’ said Campion aloud. “Regarded dispassionately it resolved itself to a simple enough question. What is more Campion is aware of this and analyses his situation with brutal honesty… ![]() He suspects the woman’s husband of murder, but because he loves the woman he absents himself from the case and, if not actively obstructing, at least does nothing to assist the investigation. And I find it helpful with this book to outline the plot as I see it (or that part of the plot which seems to me the book’s core)…….Īlbert falls in love with a married woman. Part of greatness lies in its power to shock. I should start by saying that I think this is a very great book – certainly in my Top 100 British Mysteries. ![]() Another batch of my writings from the AlbertCampion list this time on the subject of Dancers in Mourning (1937). ![]()
