The Woman at Belguardo

Más información sobre el libro

In her huge, isolated, empty house, beautiful and selfish Lisa Harcourt was murdered immediately following the announcement of her engagement to wealthy Mr. Gessington. Many people hated her, for good cause: — There was Harriet Warry, whose twin brother David was a rejected, humiliated suitor. — There was Harriet's husband Mark, a blatant victim of Lisa's magic There was John Potter, Lisa's half-brother, whose strong sense of family found her way of life intolerable. There were Miss Budgeon, the village "character," who knew too much about Lisa; and Amy Dimmick, Lisa's maid, a firm believer in self-preservation. And what about her quiet, shy ex-husband? Where did he fit into this sordid jigsaw of deep and violent passions? A lot of good suspects for Inspector Septimus Finch!
