He's produced a whimsical, delightful, witty, entertaining book that's part Jeeves and Wooster, part Laurel and Hardy, and part Miss Marple. Charming and full of surprises"-- "Booklist"<br><br>"Ripley does an excellent job of expanding a story fragment that Allingham's husband, Pip Youngman Carter, began in 1969. Allingham fans will welcome the news that Severn has commissioned a follow- up, and newcomers will be inspired to seek out her work-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"Ripley is almost too successful in fulfilling the bespectacled detective's ploy of making himself an ineffectual nonentity. Only toward the end of this meandering, fitfully amusing, resolutely twee story does Campion become more than a sad echo of an earlier age."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
