The Poisoned Chocolates Case
ByPublisher Description
From “a master of the fair-play puzzle tales,” amateur detectives take turns solving the murder of a woman by a box of candy gifted by her hapless husband (Publishers Weekly).
Graham and Joan Bendix have succeeded in making the eighth wonder of the modern world, a happy marriage. So when the devoted husband brings home a box of chocolates to his beloved wife and she dies hours later, no one is sorrier or sadder than he is.
It’s a murder that has Scotland Yard stumped, making it the perfect crime for Robert Sheringham to bring to his Crime Circle, a group of discerning amateur sleuths eager to exercise their crime solving skills on a real case. As each member of the club proposes a solution, the pieces of this mystery puzzle are illuminated, until the final thrilling conclusion.
“All Berkeley’s stories are amusing, intriguing and he is a master of the final twist.” —Agatha Christie
