{"product_id":"book-dnr4","title":"The White Cottage Mystery","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven people might have murdered Eric Crowther, the mysterious recluse who lived in the gaunt house whose shadow fell across the White Cottage. Seven people had good cause. It was not lack of evidence that sent Detective Chief Inspector Challenor and his son Jerry half across Europe to unravel a chaos of clues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe White Cottage Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e was Margery Allingham's first detective story, published initially as a newspaper serial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargery Allingham was born in Ealing, London in 1904 to a family immersed in literature. Her first novel, \u003ci\u003eBlackkerchief Dick,\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1923 when she was 19. Her first work of detective fiction was a serialized story published by the \u003ci\u003eDaily Express\u003c\/i\u003e in 1927. Entitled \u003ci\u003eThe White Cottage Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e, it contained atypical themes for a woman writer of the era. Her breakthrough occurred in 1929 with the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Crime at Black Dudley\u003c\/i\u003e. This introduced Albert Campion, albeit originally as a minor character. He returned in \u003ci\u003eMystery Mile\u003c\/i\u003e, thanks in part to pressure from her American publishers, much taken with the character. Campion proved so successful that Allingham made him the centrepiece of another 17 novels and over 20 short stories, continuing into the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audible","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50778186776880,"sku":"ZEdnr4","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49373537894704,"sku":"10dnr4","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dnr4-Square-cover.jpg?v=1771900455","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dnr4","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
