The Allingham Minibus

A collection of eighteen classic Golden Age short stories from "the best of mystery writers"—with a tribute by Agatha Christie (The New Yorker). One of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction's Four Queens of Crime

Acclaimed by critics and her peers, Margery Allingham was one of the finest writers of her day, crafting fiction that challenged readers' crime-solving skills and kept them on the edge of their seats. Foul play, mystery, and the macabre set the stage for unforgettable characters who struggled with the complexities of life and their own morality.

In these pages, you'll find eighteen stories that showcase Margery Allingham's wit, sharp characterization, and clever plotting. From her famous detective's swift dispatch of a case in "Mr. Campion's Lucky Day," to ghost-hunting in a terrorized village in "'Tis Not Hereafter," to a debate about—and proof of—good and evil in "The Wink," Margery Allingham shows why she "deserves to be rediscovered" (P. D. James, New York Times–bestselling author).
