"[Belloc Lowndes] brings to the making of a mystery a literary
sense and an imagination that puts life into the tale and into the
readers." - The Observer An enigmatic young woman named Laura
Dousland stands on trial for murder, accused of poisoning her
elderly husband Fordish. It seems clear that the poison was
delivered in a flask of Chianti with supper, but according to the
couple's servant in the witness-box, the flask disappeared the
night Fordish died and all attempts to trace it have come to
nothing. The jury delivers its verdict, but this is just the end of
the beginning of Marie Belloc Lowndes' gripping story. First
published in 1934, this exquisitely crafted novel blends the tenets
of a traditional mystery with an exploration of the psychological
impact of death, accusation, guilt and justice in the aftermath of
murder.
