- Lord Peter Wimsey is struck all of a heap by Harriet Vane, a murder-mystery novelist who's on trial for poisoning her lover with arsenic.

- While Lord Peter Wimsey is attending the murder trial of Harriet Vane, a mystery writer who stands accused of poisoning her former lover with arsenic, he becomes enamored of the attractive defendant. Her deceased former paramour, Philip Boyes, was also a writer who was an opponent of traditional marriage and advocated the concept of free love. After living together for some time, Boyes did an about face and proposed to her. Disillusioned and feeling ill-used, Vane broke off the relationship, but did see him on occasion after that. These rendezvous coincided with purchases of poison by her from chemist shops. Although she claims that these were done on behalf of professional research, the circumstantial case against her is strong. After the first trial ends in a hung jury, he visits her in prison, proposes marriage, and pledges to uncover whatever evidence is needed to clear her of the crime.—duke1029@aol.com
