| The Fashion in Shrouds
| | Margery Allingham
| The Fashion in Shrouds introduces Albert Campion’s sister, a talented young clothing designer with a roster of celebrated clients. The most celebrated among them is Georgia Wells, a glamourous actress who exemplifies the 1930s femme fatale. Georgia is vain, stupid, and self-centred, but men fly to her like moths to a flame. And like those moths, they often meet unhappy ends. Georgia’s fans chalk it up to her irresistibly dangerous allure, but Campion isn’t so sure. For one thing, he reckons, Georgia isn’t actually all that alluring. And for another, he suspects she might be just a bit more deliberately fatale than her public would like to believe.
