Arsenic and Old Lies by Benedict Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

July 1928, when the body of Gilbert Baines, fiance of Lady Bella, is discovered in his flat, Quin is warned off investigating. He becomes interested in the fifteen year old trial of Mrs Felicity Mortimer, who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her husband. It doesn take long for a death related to the case to occur and vital documents stolen. Soon Lady Bella becomes involved as well.
An entertaining and well-written historical cozy mystery with its likeable main characters. Another good mystery in this enjoyable series.
