Cyanide With Compliments — Elizabeth Lemarchand

There is no greater disaster than greed…

When Audrey Vickers is found dead in her bedroom â€" poisoned by chocolates posted through her letterbox â€" suspicion is immediately thrown on her niece, Drusilla, who she is known to have argued with days before the murder.

But Mrs Vickers was a very difficult old woman, and it soon becomes clear there are plenty of other people who may have wanted her dead.

With the crime falling under the jurisdiction of the Highcastle police force, who had worked with Scotland Yard a few years ago, Detective Superintendent Pollard and Detective Sergeant Toye are once more drafted in to help.

Is this an open and shut case? Did Drusilla poison her aunt?

Or did someone else send her Cyanide With Compliments?
