An intriguing murder plot against an eccentric family October 26, 2000
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Allingham at one of her best character-thrillers. Apron street, a throughfare stuck in an older time frame: a street not "to go up" according to the criminal fraternity. A wonderfully weird collection of people: there are Jas Bowels and Son Rowley the undertakers; and then the Palinode brothers and sisters, living in a world of naive eccentricity, two of whom have already left this life in mysterious circumstances. Into this world comes Albert Campion, assisting Detective Inspector Charles Luke and his team by being on the inside. Wonderfully described cameos such as Jas and Son moving an ebony-veneered coffin in the early hours of the morning. A treasure of a thriller captiviting the imagination and the intellect. A set of imaginative characters but in a real world of death and its consequences. It ends with a surreal chase through the night, police cars after a horse-drawn coffin brake. Sadly, they don't write them like this anymore.
