On a transatlantic liner, an American points out Crowdy Lobbett and predicts that he will have been murdered within a fortnight. Indeed he places a bet on it. It seems like a safe bet: retired Judge Lobbett has been the subject of four near misses so far: four attempts on his life that have misfired and killed someone close to him. His children have persuaded him to take a trip to England in an attempt to keep him somewhat safer, for a while at least.
A simple joy to read.
If you enjoyed this why not go back one and start at the beginning with [[The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham|The Crime at Black Dudley]] – which isn't the best in the series, but is probably the best place to start. You might also enjoy [[Sweet Danger by Margery Allingham]].
