  • "Ahhh, prussic acid, that hallmark of classic Golden Age mysteries. Did lovely Cara Quoyne get a whiff of the bitter almonds as she raised the goblet to her lips? We?ll never know: With a single sip she transported herself to the Hereafter. At least, that?s the romantic view. But Inspector Roderick Alleyn has little interest in romance; he?s investigating a murder. Cara was a deeply spiritual young woman, a novice with the House of the Sacred Flame. It seems, however, that somebody was operating from very un-spiritual motivations."@en
