Mystery Mile is a crime novel by Margery Allingham, first published in 1930, in the United Kingdom by Jarrolds Publishing, London, and in the United States by Doubleday, Doran, New York. Following his first, supporting appearance in The Crime at Black Dudley (1929), it is the first of many novels starring the mysterious Albert Campion, and introduces his butler/valet/bodyguard Magersfontein Lugg. - Wikipedia

Albert Campion is much more central in the second volume of the series, and we find out more about him. Not so sure this is comfy crime given some of the grisly deaths. I look forward to Look To The Lady!

The Crime at Black Dudley, also known in the United States as The Black Dudley Murder, is a crime novel by Margery Allingham, first published in 1929, in the United Kingdom by Jarrolds, London and in the United States by Doubleday Doran, New York. It introduces Albert Campion, her misleadingly vapid detective, who would go on to appear in another 18 novels and many short stories over the next 30 years - Wikipedia

My first Margery Allingham is the first in the Albert Campion series, although he is not the major character as in subsequent volumes. Tremendous Golden Age of crime fiction fun!
