Also, the UK-based Margery Allingham Society—“set up to honour and promote the writings of the great Golden Age author whose well-known hero is Albert Campion”—has released its longlist of finalists in this year’s Margery Allingham Short Story Competition. They are:• “Off the Rails,” by Cailey Barker
• “The Mitcham Manor Inquiry,” by Antony Brown
• “The Note,” by Tim Butterworth
• “Confession,” by Ajay Chowdhury
• “Unlucky for the Some,” by Charlie Cochrane
• “The Key,” by Christine Curran
• “The Midwinter Murders,” by Robert Grossmith
• “How to Catch a Bullet in a Plate,” by Judith O’Reilly
• “Huitzilopochtli,” by Eugene O’Toole
• “Carȇme and the Crime of the Century,” by Emma Seaman
• “The Fifth Element,” by Mark Thielman
• “The Breast Band Murder,” by Norman Thomas
As press materials explain, this annual competition is designed to find “the best unpublished short mystery, and not only that, but one which fits into Golden Age crime writer Margery Allingham’s definition of what makes a great story.” Her definition was, of course: “The Mystery remains box-shaped, at once a prison and a refuge. Its four walls are, roughly, a Crime, a Mystery, an Enquiry and a Conclusion with an Element of Satisfaction in it.”
Sometime in early May, a shortlist of Margery Allingham Short Story Competition contenders is expected to appear online. The winner of this prize will be announced, too, on Friday, May 12, during CrimeFest.
