When much-hated Eric Crowther is killed by a shotgun blast at the White Cottage, everyone who knew him has a motive for his murder
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Margery Allingham is ranked among the most distinguished and beloved detective fiction writers of the 'Golden Age' alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Ngaio Marsh. Allingham is J.K. Rowling's favorite Golden Age author, and Agatha Christie remarked that out of all the detective stories she remembers, Margery Allingham 'stands out like a shining light'. Born in London in 1904, Allingham published her first novel, Blackkerchief Dick, at the age of 19. The White Cottage Mystery was her first detective story, written first as a serial for the Daily Express in 1927.
The first of Margery Allingham's mysteries is a cozy with many suspects, each one with a motive more compelling than the last. A simply horrid murdered man makes the listener worry that one of the extremely likable cast has done him in. Francis Matthews romps though the dialects of England with not a word out of place. This makes the listener wish for more contretemps when Chief Inspector Challenor crosses the Channel with his son, Jerry, in pursuit of the suspects.
