Publisher's Summary
Can Lord Peter Wimsey prove that Harriet Vane is not guilty of murder--or find the real poisoner in time to save her from the gallows?
Impossible, it seems. The Crown's case is watertight. The police are adamant that the right person is on trial. The judge's summing up is also clear. Harriet Vane is guilty of killing her lover. And Harriet Vane shall hang.
But the jury disagrees.

I didn't like the narration
Given that most of the characters, including the lead, are male, I wonder if a male narrator would've been better (or just a different female narrator with a better technique). I found it a strain listening to the narrator trying to do a variety of male voices and the artificial voice deepening was tiring to listen to at long stretches. The magistrate's monologue at the start was painful to listen to. She also pronounces some words strangely, with lazy long vowels. I get that most of the characters are British aristocracy but the accent was annoying.
