Beneath the respectable veneer of the town, dark secrets lurk, and a when a cold-blooded murder threatens to explode the surrounding myths and mysteries, Althea is immersed, over her head. Originally published in 1972, Death of a Poison-Tongue finds acclaimed crime novelist Josephine Bell at the height of her powers.
