Mingled With Venom: Gladys Mitchell

There's one in every family - a wealthy member who frustrates and tantalises her relatives by half-promising to reveal the details of her Will, but never actually gives the details. Here there are three houses involved, complete with complications of adoptions and illicit love affairs. When the axe falls, so to speak, the wrong person is arrested and it falls to Dame Beatrice Lestrange Bradley to put matters right and pinpoint the real killer.
