She sold her first story at age 8 and published her first novel before turning 20. She married the artist, journalist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. In 1928 Allingham published her first detective story, The White Cottage Mystery, and the following year, in The Crime at Black Dudley, she introduced the detective who was to become the hallmark of her sophisticated crime novels and murder mysteries - Albert Campion. Famous for her London thrillers, such as Hide My Eyes and The Tiger in the Smoke, Margery Allingham has been compared to Dickens in her evocation of the citys shady underworld. Acclaimed by crime novelists such as P.D. James, Allingham is counted alongside Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie and Gladys Mitchell as a pre-eminent Golden Age crime writer. Margery Allingham died in 1966. Review "Allingham is the best of mystery writers" New Yorker "Allingham was a contemporary of Agatha Christie but her work is thought by many to be more stylish and less pedestrian, with cunning plots and witty characters" Sunday Express "Miss Allinghams strength lies in her power of characterisation, in her striking talent for painting the social background against which she shows her characters, in her skill in the use of words whereby she paints so vividly the scene she describes" Guardian "After an unaccountable lapse, Allinghams crime list is back in fashion" Daily Mail Promotional A CLASSIC ALBERT CAMPION CRIME MYSTERYMargery Allingham stands out like a shining light Agatha Christie Review Text Allingham is the best of mystery writers Review Quote Allingham is the best of mystery writers Promotional "Headline" A CLASSIC ALBERT CAMPION CRIME MYSTERYMargery Allingham stands out like a shining light Agatha Christie Details ISBN0099474697 Author Margery Allingham Pages 224 Year 2004 ISBN-10 0099474697 ISBN-13 9780099474692 Format Paperback Publication Date 2004-11-04 Imprint Vintage Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 823.912 Birth 1904 Death 1966 Media Book Language English Publisher Vintage Publishing Short Title Mystery Mile Subtitle A Campion Mystery UK Release Date 2004-11-04 AU Release Date 2004-11-04 NZ Release Date 2004-11-04 Alternative 9781448138029 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
