More Work for the Undertaker (Campion Mystery) (edition 2007)

Enjoyable (and more coherent than Coroner's Pidgin) mystery where a familiy of Edwardian relics are thrown into confusion when one member is poisoned. Albert Campion is called in to investigate. Introduces Detective Inspector Luke. ( )

Not one of my personal favorites, and this is #13 in the series.

In this one, Albert Campion is called upon to look into two mysterious deaths in the Palinode family. They are a group of rather eccentric people, however, the deaths are by poison, so it becomes a police matter. Throw in anonymous letters, some strange doings at the local undertaker & a missing coffin, and it makes for an adventure Campion won't soon forget.

To be really honest, I found this one somewhat tedious and had a really hard time sticking with it. However, that's just me; others have given this quite a high rating. ( )

Apron Street is a quiet little thoroughfare in west London — and yet Albert Campion is called in to investigate a death, and he finds himself surrounded by as strange a family as he has ever encountered.

I remember this one as being a little creepy and very scary at the end. ( )
