The Margery Allingham Collection

Read across Margery Allingham’s mysteries, short fiction and wartime memoir in a collection of twenty-seven numbered titles and selections. Albert Campion’s investigations form the central sequence, joined by Black Plumes, Deadly Duo, No Love Lost, The Oaken Heart and further short stories. The collection offers country-house intrigue, suspense, unusual domestic situations and Allingham’s account of an English community during the Second World War. Duplicate omnibus novels and shared short stories are represented once. The available Black Plumes edition is abridged and is clearly identified; Cargo of Eagles credits Philip Youngman Carter’s completion, and his substantive profile of Allingham is retained with its attribution. This Sanctus Books reading edition includes numbered openings, a linked collection contents page and EPUB navigation, with reflowable text and centered ornamental title and chapter headings.
