About this book
Harriet Vane, a detective novelist, stands accused of poisoning her former lover, and the evidence against her looks overwhelming. Watching from the gallery, the amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey decides she is innocent and that he has only weeks to prove it before a second trial. What follows is a classic English puzzle mystery of alibis, wills, disputed inheritances and a chemist's cunning, solved with the help of an unlikely network of spinsters, typists and household staff. Set in London and its bohemian fringes between the wars, it mixes brisk plotting, dry wit and an unexpectedly tender streak.
