The Return of Mr. Campion

Description:

A proper family butler is called upon to discreetly turn away an unexpected and wholly unwelcome caller. An apparently harmless female ghost is seeking something in an old farmhouse. An unlikely gatecrasher shakes up the guests at an expensive, respectable and very dull English seaside hotel. A selection of Allingham's short stories not included in previous anthologies. Although several feature her aristocratic sleuth, Albert Campion, the rest contain surprising twists and more than a hint of the supernatural. Clever, amusing...and occasionally very unsettling.
