This is the 4th book in Allingham's Albert Campion series, and one of my personal favorites.
No one in the FARaday family particularly mourned the hanger-on called Uncle Andreww, but thay all felt this murder was in such horrid taste. And when a mysterious symbol appeared on a mansion window and a preposterously large footprint popped up in the garden, it becane clear someone was trying to make monkeys of them all. Nothing is more unwelcome to the proper Cambridge Faradeays than a hint of scandal. But Campion shrewdly supects that the killer plans to do more than just enbarrass the Faradays to death. The idea is to really kill them...one by one.
One expects eccentrics from Allingham but this group are some of her best. A great mystery
complete with a black sheep and a great read.
