Police at the Funeral. Illustrated, livre ebook

Police at the Funeral by Margery Allingham is a clever and atmospheric mystery featuring her beloved gentleman detective, Albert Campion, in one of his most intricate and entertaining cases.
When Campion is called to assist a troubled family living in an isolated, decaying country house, he expects little more than a domestic dispute. Instead, he finds himself among the eccentric and secretive Faradays, a clan ruled by strict traditions, hidden resentments, and long-buried grudges. After a sudden death under suspicious circumstances, the uneasy household is thrown into fear—and it soon becomes clear that more danger lurks within the crumbling walls.
As tensions rise and another tragedy strikes, Campion must untangle a web of lies, inheritance disputes, and carefully guarded secrets. With his characteristic wit, patience, and sharp powers of observation, he pieces together clues that others overlook.
Blending classic detective work with sharp social comedy and Gothic atmosphere, Police at the Funeral is a finely crafted Golden Age mystery—wry, suspenseful, and delightfully unpredictable.
