How Can a Man Die Twice?By kindlefanDetective Campion is called to a funeral which turns out to be the death of a thoroughly distasteful school chum who they called Pig. A few months later, he is called to another death of..the same person! Can he figure out the mystery in time?A good classic mystery with a bit of an intrigue.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. People don't go about expecting to be murderedBy Timothy Marvin CoplinI'm picked up this book for two reasons: I want to read and become acquainted with more of the classic literary detectives, and because it is written in the first-person narrative, the same style as one of my favorite Agatha Christie novels - THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD.On the first point, the novel[ette] was somewhat successful. I had a decent introduction to . Now, to read a few more of her Margery Allingham's acclaimed novels to firmly cement my opinion of the man, his style and his flare. Any suggestions?On the second point, THE CASE OF THE LATE PIG is a fail. I was distracted. I didn't follow the flow of the story or the case well. Narrative involving simpleton speak in the vernacular makes for very difficult reading in my opinion. It's a technique Agatha Christie employs, but her use is not as 'thick' as in this case; It's the difference between Louisiana Bayou and Kentucky Blue Ridge.Good plot. I enjoyed seeing it all unravel at the end. The plot certainly is not the element that cooled me to this work.[Kindle edition review]PLEASE edit this and reissue it to those of us who spent money on it. Granted, there is 'simple speak' narrative which mandates improper spelling. However, when hideous misspellings occur apart from the vernacular, something is definitely wrong. There is even a case where a character's name is broken with a space in the middle of it. Seriously, we expect better, especially from classic literature.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Buy all the Albert Campion mysteriesBy HSHCLDI am re-reading all of the Albert Campion mysteries. They were favorites in my youth. I am delighted to say the mysteries are delightful and I am having great fun re-reading them all.

Private detective Albert Campion is summoned to the village of Kepesake to investigate a particularly distasteful death. The body turns out to be that of Pig Peters, freshly killed five months after his own funeral. Soon other corpses start to turn up, just as Peterrsquo;s body goes missing. It takes all Campionrsquo;s coolly incisive powers of detection to unravel the crime. The Case of the Late Pig is, uniquely, narrated by Campion himself. In Allinghamrsquo;s inimitable style, high drama sits neatly beside pitch perfect black comedy. A heady mix of murder, romance, and the urbane detectiversquo;s own unglamorous past make this an unmissable Allingham mystery.

"Don't start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction" * Independent * "Allingham captures her quintessential quiet detective Albert Campion to perfection... For those who relish classic crime fiction" * Daily Express * "Margery Allingham has worked her way up to a worthy place among the tiny hierarchy of front- rankers in the detective world" * Tatler * "Allingham was a rare and precious talent" * Washington Post *About the AuthorMargery Allingham was born in Ealing, in 1904 to a family immersed in literature. Her first novel, Blackkerchief Dick, was published in 1923 when she was 19. Her first work of was a serialized story published by the Daily Express in 1927. Entitled The White Cottage Mystery, it contained atypical themes for a woman writer of the era. Her breakthrough occurred in 1929 with the publication of The Crime at Black Dudley. This introduced Albert Campion, albeit originally as a minor character. He returned in Mystery Mile, thanks in part to pressure from her American publishers, much taken with the character. Campion proved so successful that Allingham made him the centrepiece of another 17 novels and over 20 short stories, continuing into the 1960s.From AudioFileMargery Allingham would surely have adored the Albert Campion portrayed here. This is the seventeenth mystery featuring the unassuming detective that is narrated by Francis Matthews. In the village of Kepesake, an accident or murder has claimed the life of Pig Peters, whose funeral Campion attended several months before. This case, like the others, is perfect for Matthews's affinity for characterizations. He excels with eccentric country gentlemen, society ladies, ingenues or a hapless vicar and revels in the outrageous characters Allingham conjured up. Perhaps Matthews's crowning achievement is Lug, Campion's incomparable manservant. Irreverent and unpredictable, Lug and Campion make exceptional listening through the voice of Francis Matthews.
