Margery Allingham Zitate

Margery Louise Allingham war eine englische Schriftstellerin und Krimi-Autorin. Sie wird heute zu den Vertreterinnen des klassischen Detektivromans gezählt.

Allinghams Eltern waren Journalisten und Schriftsteller. Sie selber begann sehr früh zu schreiben, konzentrierte sich anfangs aber auf Theaterstücke und Kurzgeschichten. Ihren ersten größeren Durchbruch hatte sie mit ihrem zweiten Kriminalroman The Crime at Black Dudley , der 1927 veröffentlicht wurde. In diesem Roman führt sie auch ihren wichtigsten Protagonisten Albert Campion ein. Bereits ihr dritter Kriminalroman Mystery Mile , in dem sie die Figur des Magersfontein Lugg als Diener von Campion einführt, wurde vom Doubleday Crime Club zur Buchempfehlung des Monats gewählt.
