Description
A vintage murder mystery that has been hailed as 'a shining light' by Agatha Christie. Margery Allingham's work is often compared to that of other great detectives, and her stories continue to appeal to readers with their intricate plots and clever solutions. In "The Fashion in Shrouds", a series of suspicious deaths draws the attention of private detective Albert Campion. As he unravels the complex web of blackmail and murder, he must navigate a world of high society and fashion, where nothing is as it seems. With his sister Valentine, a talented couturière, at the centre of the mystery, Campion must use all his skills to uncover the truth. This is a gripping tale of murder, mystery and detection, written by one of crime fiction's most celebrated authors.
