["More Work for the Undertaker"] is a top-notch Margery Allingham murder mystery—that is to say, full of keen characterization, humor, old English atmosphere, a charmingly decadent family and a few sudden deaths. And Albert Campion, shrewd, scholarly crime detector, is there to check the widely scattered clues and put the pieces of the puzzle together….

The unwinding of the mystery is fast and exciting and made more so by the antics of the eccentric Palinodes and their very old neighbors.
