About Margery Allingham

Margery Allingham was born in London in 1904. She sold her first story at age 8 and published her first novel before turning 20. She married the artist journalist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. In 1928 Allingham published her first detective story The White Cottage Mystery and the following year in The Crime at Black Dudley she introduced the detective who was to become the hallmark of her sophisticated crime novels and murder mysteries - Albert Campion. Famous for her London thrillers such as Hide My Eyes and The Tiger in the Smoke Margery Allingham has been compared to Dickens in her evocation of the city's shady underworld. Acclaimed by crime novelists such as P.D. James Allingham is counted alongside Dorothy L. Sayers Agatha Christie and Gladys Mitchell as a pre-eminent Golden Age crime writer. Margery Allingham died in 1966.
