‘One of Allingham’s very best.’ – The Observer

Eric Crowther knew everybody’s secrets, so there was no shortage of suspects when he was found shot at the White Cottage. Chief Inspector Challenor and his son Jerry had to look deep into everyone’s past – including the dead man’s – before they could be sure who had pulled the trigger. Everyone in the household and a good reason to want him dead and Chief Inspector Challenor uses all his wiles to solve the mystery.

With a country house, blackmail and murder, The White Cottage Mystery has all the making for a classic cosy mystery.

This is not an Albert Campion mystery, and was first published as a serialisation in the Daily Express in 1927.
