Three very different Albert Campion mysteries. Fashion in Shrouds is a fairly straightforward mystery set in the fashion industry in which Campion's sister Val is a designer. I reminds me a little of some of Rex Stout's stories set in the same industry. Traitor's Purse is a tour-de-force, more a spy novel/adventure than a mystery, set during World War II, in which Campion is in counterintelligence but is suffering amnesia, so he is trying to figure out who he is as well as solve the case. What makes it especially tricky is he is trying to figure out what his relationship is to a young woman who loves him (in fact, they are not yet married, but at one point he thinks they are). Gyrth Chalice Mystery mixes regular mystery with Gothic elements --it is set in a castle which has a mysterious cursed room --rather like legends about the real Glamis Castle. ( )
