In Police at the Funeral, Margery Allingham's genial but impishly morbid sleuth, Albert Campion (Peter Davison, a former Doctor Who), accompanied by his ex-burglar manservant Lugg (Brian Glover), investigates a murder among an upper-crust family of bickering middle-aged siblings and their imperious mother. Allingham's series, set in 1930s England, has a slippery tone--some mysteries seem to view the class system with blithe reverence; Police at the Funeral treats the wealthy, aimless siblings as near-idiots, all waiting for the death of their fearsome mother, who's the only one with any wit or fiber. The Campion stories are less about whodunnit than howdunnit--the roundabout plots feature improbable killings that poke fun at the conventions of murder mysteries, while simultaneously providing all the comfortable pleasures of the genre. Meanwhile, a cast of fine British thespians sink their teeth into Allingham's gloriously eccentric characters. --Bret Fetzer
