Arsenic and Old Lies by Benedict Brown

 


Marius Quinn did not expect to find a murdered man in his library. That he was the fiancé of Bella, whom Marius was madly in unrequited love, made it much worse. Told to stay away from the investigation, steered him in the direction of Felicity Mortimer who has served fifteen years for a crime she didn’t commit. 

Marius finds a too convenient thread of overlooked in your face facts in Felicity's defense. Determined to unlock the reason why Felicity was neglected over and over again, takes him and Bella into Felicity's own home where a killer is waiting to strike to cover secrets from fifteen years ago..

Very good story and excellent characterization, set in the 1920s an age just emerging into modern times.
