Description

The British Library
A republished mystery from the 1930s, a golden age for British crime-writing.

Laura Dousland stands accused of poisoning her miserly and controlling husband: it is her word against that of servant Angelo. This gripping tale explores the aftermath as characters involved in the trial come to terms with the verdict and the nagging, unanswered questions. Dr Scrutton falls for the widow as her notoriety grows. But is Laura all she seems? And whatever became of the poisoned flask of Chianti?

This psychological thriller by best-selling London novelist Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was originally published in 1935.
