This brand-new novel featuring Margery Allingham’s Mr Campion recaptures the Golden Age of British Detective Fiction.The Danish Ambassador has requested Albert Campion’s help on ‘a delicate family matter’. He’s very concerned about his eighteen-year-old daughter, who has formed an attachment to a most unsuitable young man. Recruiting his unemployed actor son, Rupert, to keep an eye on Frank Tate, the young man in question, Mr Campion notes some decidedly odd behaviour on the part of the up-and-coming photographer. Before he can act on the matter, however, both the Ambassador’s daughter and her beau disappear without trace. Then a body is discovered in a lagoon. With appearances from all of Margery Allingham’s regular characters, from Campion’s former manservant Lugg, to his wife Lady Amanda Fitton and others, this witty and elegant mystery is sure to delight Allingham’s many fans. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the observation keen, and the climax is thrilling and eerily atmospheric.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Mr Campion's Fox By Clare O'Beara This is a fun read because it recreates the 1960s in England. We move from an embassy reception to the back streets of Soho, then out to Suffolk coastline. All the time the atmosphere is created by old coinage, 45rpm records and squat telephones, while brewery dreys are considered out-dated but impressive and people staff a mysterious Ministry of Defence listening post.Oddly I found the past thus shown somewhat claustrophobic. I suppose it's knowing that you can't easily summon help or look up answers, and a newspaper has to be fetched from a vendor to learn the news of the day.Mr Campion, the eponymous amateur detective, appears at the start but afterwards much of the legwork is taken over by his son and that young man's girlfriend. This is believable given the locations and action scenes involved where younger people are required. The Danish Ambassador's daughter has taken up with a somewhat scruffy young London lad, and Campion's son is set to tail this lad and ensure he is above board. Both the Danish girl and her boyfriend vanish in Suffolk. Location detail is good and there are plenty of quirky characters, before and after the finding of a dead body.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A pleasant continuation of the Campion character. By J. Lesley I selected this novel to read from those offered by Severn House Publishing through NetGalley with a slight bit of hesitation because I'm such a fan of the original stories. I need not have worried. Yes, Mike Ripley does add more subtle humor to this story than Ms. Allingham did, but that turned out to be quite good in my overall enjoyment of the book. In this one, set sometime in the 1960's, Albert Campion is supposed to be retired from all the involvements he had with crime, police, and secret government agencies but we still meet Lugg and Amanda with son Rupert and his wife Perdita starting off the investigation of finding out facts about the boyfriend of the Danish Ambassador's daughter. Rupert's week long shadowing of Francis Tate only adds more questions. When a murder victim is found and someone else disappears, everybody heads to the Suffolk coast and the tiny village of Gapton. Luckily Rupert's school chum Torquil Sandyman, of Sandyman's Brewery, lives right on the spot and can provide a convenient location for investigating all the strange happenings in this village.I enjoyed this novel very much because the characters are well drawn and the mysterious happenings are not just interesting, but also complex enough to keep me guessing about who, what and why. I have put the first novel in this series, Margery Allingham's Mr Campion's Farewell: The return of Albert Campion completed by Mike Ripley (Albert Campion Mysteries)), on my Kindle and plan to read it very soon.I received an e-ARC of this novel through NetGalley.

By Ginny Using some of Margery Allingham's characters and imagining a story around them, Mike Ripley has come up with a very good book. It is much better than the previous book where he used notes and a beginning fashioned from something that Youngman Carter (Mrs. Allingham's widower) created. I'm still confused about the fox (although there is one in the story) and the plot is a bit slight but I enjoyed the book. On principle I do not enjoy follow on books "in the style of" or "finishing off a manuscript" but Mr. Ripley has come up with a winner. I look forward to the next book as I believe he has an agreement to write three "Allingham" books...................Good job!
