I had read it before but had forgotten much of it. (I thought he spent much more time in the hospital bed.) So good I hardly wanted it to end. Supposedly Tiger in the Smoke is Allingham's best book, but so far this is still my favorite.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-58236002173603487492018-05-25T14:43:13.439-04:002018-05-25T14:43:13.439-04:00LOVED this book, Mathew - well, you kind of knew t...LOVED this book, Mathew - well, you kind of knew that. I began reading Allingham just a short while ago after my disastrous introduction to her work (I read one of her lesser works) and my oath never to read her again. But I can be brought to heal occasionally and in Allingham's case, I'm glad I'm giving her work another try. Though I'm still not crazy about Lugg and any book in which he figures prominently, I shy off. So glad you enjoyed TRAITOR'S PURSE - it is a pretty special book.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-41524189297025809152018-05-25T10:45:45.355-04:002018-05-25T10:45:45.355-04:00Yes, as said before, this is a ver good one, perha...Yes, as said before, this is a ver good one, perhaps my favorite of the Campion books.

I have read it before and know the story generally, but I still don't want to remember any more than I already do. I am glad you enjoyed it so much, based on the first paragraphs.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
