Publisher Description

First, there is a skeleton in a dinner jacket. Then, a corpse in a golden aeroplane. After another body is found, Albert Campion nearly makes a fourth.

Both the skeleton and the corpse have died with suspicious convenience for Georgia Wells, a monstrous but charming actress with a raffish entourage. Georgia's best friend just happens to be Valentine, a top couturier and Campion's sister. In order to protect Valentine, Campion must unravel a story of blackmail and ruthless murder.

"This was the first Campion novel I've read (besides Crime at the Black Dudley) which wasn't adapted into an episode for the tv series, so this was the first one where I had no previous idea who to suspect or what was going to happen. We meet Campion's sister, whose presence gives us a new insight into the man's character. On the whole an enjoyable mystery, with just the right amount of Lugg and Oates."

    " Great mystery. The style, early 20th century British, makes me work a bit to get it all, which I like. "

    " Period piece. Instructive of one mindset of the era. Extraordinarily well written and an entire world created artlessly. Fascinating. "

    " I really enjoyed meeting Amanda again, and all grown up. Notices that Campion has been definitely downgraded to nobility....the first two books seemed to hint that he was a member of the House of Windsor. "

    " As a mystery, I would give this 4 stars. I was really guessing and second-guessing until the end. However, the racial epithets and the gender stereotyping that goes on in this book made it practically a total washout. "

    " A engaging cast of characters and some happy twists in the plot made this a fun read. There are some annoying observations on women's psychology that seem very much products of the time. Allingham more than makes up for these, though, with her delightful Amanda. "
