Part 2
coltras3519 April 2022
Campion attends the funeral of an old schoolmate. Months later he finds himself investigating the murder of someone who might be the same man.

The concluding part two is just as good as the first part with things coming to a head. There's one more murder, a stolen corpse found in the water and poor Campion trying to tell his school time friend that he now fancies her, but gets interrupted by something every time . The finale is quite good and the trick of how urn fell from the balcony is a neat one.

The Case of the Late Pig: Part 2
Prismark1023 January 2019
Campion meets Mr Hayhoe, a man who snorts like a pig. A relation of Pig Harris who was buried in May. He claims to have important information.

Mr Hayhoe claims that the second man found dead with the geranium urn on his head, resembled Pig Harris and was also a relative.

Whippet keeps hanging about and acts like some kid of Mole.

Campion senses that the death of Pig Harris might be linked to an insurance scam, a scam where Pig Harris jilted his partners in crime.

However Campion places himself and Lugg in peril.

It was a nicely constructed mystery, not easy to work out the details although I can sense who the murderer was.

There is a look of disappointment in Campion's face when he finds out that his adventures has lead to people being paired up. Janet's crush on him remain short lived.

I just thought the first series of Campion never reached the heights. The pace was too leisurely although it had great production detail and art direction.
