The Fashion in Shrouds (The Albert Campion Mysteries)

Synopsis

A custom-made killer shocks the fashionable London set in &“one of the finest murder books ever written&” featuring gentleman sleuth Albert Campion (The New Yorker). Albert Campion&’s sister is a success in her own right. A top fashion designer, she works for a legendary couturier and dresses Georgia Wells, the best-dressed actress in the world. Albert also has a connection to Georgia, but his is based on failure, not success. Georgia&’s former fiancé disappeared nearly three years ago, and Campion has never been able to find him. Until now . . . The victim&’s remains—discovered by Campion in a deserted country house—point to suicide. But the man&’s father assumes it was foul play. In a rarified world of wealth and privilege where silence and secrets can be bought, the investigation won&’t be easy, especially when another death takes center stage. This time, the victim is Georgia&’s current husband—and starring in the role of prime suspect: Albert&’s sister. &“Top ranking whodunit in Dorothy Sayers tradition . . . Plus sale for non-mysteryites as first rate novel of fashionable London. Suspense—humor—well planned, well written.&” —Kirkus Reviews Praise for Margery Allingham &“Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light.&” —Agatha Christie &“The best of mystery writers.&” —The New Yorker &“Allingham was a rare and precious talent.&” —The Washington Post &“Don&’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.&” —The Independent
