Murder à la Mode

The setting is the fast, flip world of London fashion, and the time, the feverishly exciting period just before the latest Paris fashion news is to break. The keyed-up crew of Style magazine gathers to put the finishing touches to its forthcoming issue, unaware that at the very same time they are being raced to their deadline by death.

Called in to investigate the murder of one of the magazine's key employees, CID Inspector Henry Tibbett finds himself faced with an apparently clueless crime. To add to the confusion, Style's chic staff displays an alarming talent for subterfuge. Everyone is more than willing to give Inspector Tibbett the low-down of the magazine's secret domestic relations, but the unassuming Inspector soon imagines this is all part of a clever plot to keep him from discovering the truth about murder.
