Description

"A jilted Japanese suitor who plots an exotic and melodic revenge... A phony fortuneteller whose bogus predictions put him behind his own crystal eight-ball... A diabolical cosmetician determined to prove that beauty is skin deep but evil goes to the bone... Now gentleman detective Albert Campion and his law-enforcing peers take on a colorful collection of felonious fiends in thirteen deliciously sinister tales of crime and punishment." --provided by Goodreads.

For me none of these short stories, and some were really short, stood out as a wonderful story. Considering the title of the book I did expect all the stories to be about Campion and his investigations but this was not the case. Two stars because I did read all the stories but I was left with the

feeling of disappointment.
