Book Description
With gentleman sleuth Albert Campion on the case and plenty of European intrigue, “Sweet Danger is for the connoisseur of detective fiction” (Sunday Times). Nestled along the Adriatic coastline, the kingdom of Averna has suddenly—and suspiciously—become the hottest property in Europe, and Albert Campion is given the task of recovering the long-missing proofs of ownership. His mission takes him from the French Riviera to the sleepy village of Pontisbright, where he meets the flame-haired Amanda Fitton. Her family claim to be the rightful heirs to the principality, and insist on joining Campion's quest. Unfortunately for them, a criminal financier and his heavies are also on the trail. The clock is ticking for Campion and his cohorts to outwit the thugs and solve the mystery of Averna. “Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light. And she has another quality, not usually associated with crime stories, elegance.” —Agatha Christie “The best of mystery writers.” —The New Yorker

Pages : 371
Book Description
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

Book Description
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi: You can give someone the permission unknowingly to hurt you. This is very true in a relationship, if one chooses the wrong person. One can also decide not to give someone that permission to hurt him or her by saying yes only to the right person. Just like in a business, before starting a partnership, one is expected to choose a potential business partner based on strict business rules of engagements. Being involved romantically with someone is a serious business too. And before you handover your heart to someone, you are expected to do the needful, that is, making the right choice based on strict relationship guidelines. Loving someone is not just enough to think you have chosen the right person. And a few displays of affections by this person are not also enough to risk your heart to a stranger. More to it is accessing this person before giving your heart. Is there a right person? How will I know if this person is the right person? How will I know if it s real love? How can I avoid making mistake in choosing a partner? Can I minimize the chances of heartbreak or divorce? Can I still fix my crumbling relationship? How can I become a right partner? Yes only to the Right Person: A guide to Choosing the Right Partner answers these questions by guiding you in making an honest appraisal of a person/relationship before handing over your heart. After reading this book; you can only be in a romantic relationship with the wrong person, by choice.
