"Mystery Mile" (1930) is the second novel in Margery Allingham's celebrated Albert Campion series, a cornerstone of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Quirky, enigmatic, and seemingly frivolous, Campion hides behind his eccentric persona a razor-sharp intelligence and remarkable skill for uncovering secrets.

The story begins when Judge Crowdy Lobbett, pursued by ruthless enemies, is persuaded to seek refuge in the quiet English countryside. Campion arranges his stay at the picturesque Mystery Mile, a secluded estate that promises safety. But soon, the supposed sanctuary becomes a place of peril: sinister happenings, sudden deaths, and an atmosphere of mounting dread engulf the household.

Campion, with his trademark blend of wit and cunning, takes on the challenge of protecting Lobbett and unraveling a complex web of danger. Along the way, he reveals not only his flair for detection but also his ability to navigate the shadows of high society and underworld intrigue alike.

Filled with suspense, colorful characters, and Allingham's characteristic elegance of style, Mystery Mile is both a gripping detective tale and a defining moment in the evolution of Albert Campion as one of crime fiction's most beloved sleuths.
