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

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.
