Description
When Gregory Matthews, the domineering patriarch of The Poplars, is found dead, his imperious sister Harriet is quick to blame the roast duck served at supper. But Inspector Hannasyde soon suspects something far more deliberate, for every member of the quarrelsome Matthews family had reason to resent the victim—and none can offer a convincing alibi. As hidden grievances and family tensions come to light, the investigation becomes a sharp, suspenseful puzzle of poison, motive, and deception. With its elegant wit, intricate plotting, and vividly drawn characters, this classic mystery showcases Georgette Heyer’s talent for combining country-house intrigue with sparkling social observation.
