Es war für sie ganz selbstverständlich, daß sie anfing zu schreiben; kein anderer Beruf galt in ihrer Familie als natürlich oder normal. Noch als Teenager schrieb sie während ihrer Schulzeit an der Perse High School in Cambridge und dem Regent Street Polytechnic of Speech Training ihren ersten Roman Black’erchief Dick. 1928 – mit dreiundzwanzig Jahren – sicherte sie sich für immer einen Platz unter den Romanautoren, als sie ihren ersten Campion-Detektivroman verfasste. Ihre frühen Bücher The Crime at Black Dudley, Mystery Mile und Look to the Lady musste sie in der spärlichen Freizeit schreiben, die ihre Filmarbeit ihr ließ. Damals wurden ihre Bücher von den wenigen fortschrittlichen Geistern geliebt, denen die frische und nicht alltägliche Art gefiel, mit der sie die Probleme und Vergnügungen der Nachkriegsjugend schilderte. Seither haben ihr sanfter Detektiv Albert Campion und seine muskelbepackten Mitarbeiter treue Leser jeder Altersstufe in aller Welt erobert. Sie hat sich auch einen Ruf als ernsthaftere Schriftstellerin geschaffen. In einer Kritik über The Fashion in Shrouds schrieb Torquemada im Observer, dass Albert Campion die Ehre zuteil geworden sei, der erste Detektiv zu sein, der in einem Roman agiere, den man durchaus anspruchsvoll nennen dürfe. Margery Allinghams Romane sind weitgespannt, und ihre Themen umfassen Ernstes und Satirisches, doch jeder hälts sich streng an die grundlegenden Regeln einer guten Detektivgeschichte. Margery Allingham war seit 1928 mit dem Künstler und Verleger Philip Youngman Carter verheiratet und lebte viele Jahre am Rande des Marschlandes von Essex. Sie starb am 30. Juni 1966.

Therersquo;s a reason itrsquo;s called ldquo;The Golden Agerdquo; of mysteryBy JZSI love Golden Age Mysteries. I own most if not all of the works of Sayers, Christie, Marsh, Heyer and Carr. Margery Allingham was never a favorite of mine primarily because in her early novels her hero, Albert Campion, seemed a pale imitation of Dorothy Sayersrsquo; Peter Wimsey. However, it is clear in this later book that, like Wimsey, Campion has matured and the character ldquo;ticsrdquo; that annoyed me are gone.For some reason, Irsquo;d gotten away from the Golden Age and lately have been reading Victorian and modern mysteries. But ldquo;Tigerrdquo; is one of the books on HRF Keatingrsquo;s list of 100 best mysteries that I hadnrsquo;t read so when a friend pointed out this kindle book for $2.99 I picked it up. A few pages into ldquo;The Tiger in the Smokerdquo;, I remembered why Golden Age was my genre of preference. Most of what Irsquo;ve read over the past couple of years pales in comparison.First of all the ldquo;cozy mystery thrillerrdquo; label on this is completely misleading.
