BBC Four showed one of the Peter Davidson Campion adaptations the other week, so I thought this Friday was a good time to remind you about Margery Allingham’s Golden Age series. I’ve re listened to a lot of them on audiobook as well as having read all bar one I think of the original nineteen novels featuring her response to Lord Peter Wimsey. They are dated in patches – some novels much more than others – but so are some of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers. If you’re interested in the Queens of Crime and you haven’t read any of these, you should. And you can read my much longer thoughts here.
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
I’ve been really enjoyed the BBC look backs at their old crime series. I loved the showing of the Lynley series as well as the Campion one.
Oooh. I missed the Lynleys. I will go and take a look on iPlayer and see if they’re there!
The interview they did first with Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small first. It’s definitely on iplayer though
