The most psychologically assured novel to date (The Times) by an Edgar Award nominee. Despite the warnings put forth by her friend Chief Superintendent Geoffrey Bailey, apprentice pharmacist Helen West begins an investigation into the suspicious death of another pharmacist's wife--and uncovers a viper's nest of jealousy, rage, and lethal addictions.
This was the first Fyfield I've read and I was delighted with it. Bailey and Helen are likeable, human, and I've seen them on TV! Just kidding, but I remembered when I started reading the book that the characters had been in a segment of Mystery!Fyfield did a great job describing the area and the personalities of her characters, including Caring Carleton, who was enough to make your blood run cold. Good all around why'd he done it!
