Margery Louise Allingham (20 May 1904 – 30 June 1966) was an English novelist from the " Golden Age of Detective Fiction", and considered one of its four " Queens of Crime", alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Ngaio Marsh. Allingham suffered from breast cancer and died at Severalls Hospital, Colchester, England, on 30 June 1966, aged 62. Her final Campion novel, Cargo of Eagles, was completed by her husband at her request, and was published in 1968. She was cared for through her illness by her sister, who avoided the topic in her films depicting their home life as well as ensuring her husband was not inconvenienced by it. [9]

Gerry is a powerfully-drawn character, and I liked the fact that although we do see through his eyes at times, it isn't done too much and is largely limited to the immediate problem, as he realises that an alibi has fallen flat or something like that. We’ve got lots of inquiries and heard lots of discussion, but have not seen any active participation,” said Deborah Cunningham at Federated Hermes.Preacher's Kids/The Steel Cocoon/Women and Thomas Harrow/Green Mansions/Tether's End (Reader's Digest Condensed Books, Volume 4: 1958) I thought he was rather stupid - and his good fortune was that his friends did indeed hide their eyes to what was going on.

Welcome to our buddy read of Hide My Eyes our April/May 2021 buddy read. It was published in the U.S. under the titles Tether's End or Ten Were Missing and is the sixteenth novel in the Albert Campion series. Allingham is best remembered for her hero, the gentleman sleuth Albert Campion. Initially believed to be a parody of Dorothy L. Sayers's detective Lord Peter Wimsey, Campion matured into a strongly individual character, part-detective, part-adventurer, who formed the basis for 18 novels and many short stories.Margery Louise Allingham was born on 20 May 1904 in Ealing, London, the eldest daughter of Herbert John (1868-1936) and Emily Jane ( née Hughes; 1879-1960). She had a younger brother Philip William, and a younger sister Emily Joyce Allingham, former WRENS member and amateur filmmaker. [1] [2] Her family was immersed in literature; her parents were both writers. Her father was editor of the Christian Globe and The New London Journal, to which Margery later contributed articles and Sexton Blake stories, and he had become a successful pulp fiction writer, and her mother, as Emmie Allingham, was a contributor of stories to women's magazines. Soon after Margery's birth the family left London for Essex, where they lived in an old house in Layer Breton, a village near Colchester. She attended a local school and then the Perse School for Girls in Cambridge, all the while writing stories and plays. She earned her first fee at the age of eight, for a story printed in her aunt's magazine.
