Mr Campion's Farewell

By: Mike Ripley

Narrated by: David Thorpe

A Margery Allingham Campion mystery.

Strange things happen in the picture-postcard English village of Lindsay Carfax. When a young man falls into a quarry, it takes nine days to find the body. When rowdy hippies descend on the village, they're given nine days to leave. When an outspoken schoolmaster is kidnapped for nine days, he stays eerily quiet after his release.

Now Albert Campion has come to town - and he means to investigate all this strangeness. But whoever is behind the unusual goings - on quickly makes it very clear that his nosing around is not welcome. Undeterred by threats, Campion is determined to expose the criminal masterminds hiding in this sleepy village.

One of my favorites

I’ve listened to this book at least 20 times. As usual I like David Thorpe’s portrayal of Campion. Also, the plot had a Margery Allingham feel to it. It stayed true to the character. I wish audible would bring more of the later Campion mysteries written by Mike Ripley to life.

Wonderful

Albert Campion is a delight. Mike Ripley has done a great job of keeping the tone and touch of Margery Allingham’s stories. Such a pleasure!

Great continuation of Campion’s story

Exceeded expectations. I so hope Ripley’s subsequent Albert Campion novels are made available on Audible (and read by David Thorpe).

A real treat

i have enjoyed this entire series. Mr. Ripley has done a wonderful and beautiful thing in completing this book. i am looking forward to the possibility of more. Mr. Thorpe has done his usual excellent job as narrator.

Campion Back In Form

Mr. Ripley revives the spirit of Campion of old. Well-plotted, well-written, and a superb revival of a character who has gone stale.
