In Hide My Eyes, Campion finds himself hunting down a serial killer. A spate of murders leaves him and his friend and colleague Inspector Luke, with only the baffling clues of a left-hand glove and a lizard-skin lettercase. However a chain of strange events leads them to an odd museum of curiosities hidden in a quiet London neighbourhood where there is more going on than meets the eye.

Critic reviews

"Allingham's work is always of the first rank" ( New York Times)
"Margery Allingham has worked her way up to a worthy place among the tiny hierarchy of front-rankers in the detective world" ( Tatler)
"For the connoisseur of detective fiction" ( Sunday Times)

Margery Allingham is clearly under-rated. I've listened to a few of hers now, they're always gripping and with a good balance of the human touch. This was the best I've listened to yet. You know who the criminal is from the start, and yet the character explorations and twists and turns make it utterly gripping. Just don't listen to it as you're going to bed!

Love the author, love the narrator, have learned to love the accents, which is a tad on the cockney side amittedly

Wonderful Margery Allingham, wonderful narrator

This is listed as a Albert Campion story, but he plays a very minor role. This I found disappointing, as part of the enjoyment of these stories is his quirky personality. For that reason I didn't enjoy this as much as other Margery Allingham books.

Unexpected

I regret that Campion seems to play a smaller and smaller part as the series goes on - but the clever plotting and insightful characters make listening well worth it.

Strong plot

Some interesting and well drawn central. characters and an interesting concept for the plot. However I felt that not all of the background was well explained and Campion was hardly in the story at all, and contributed even less. That didn't distract from the progress of the story though.

good characters
