She Shall Die

Even Hatty Savage had to admit that it had been foolish of her, when Richard Sheridan had threatened suicide, to hand him her sleeping tablets. And when a girl who had been trying to blackmail her also came to an abrupt end, Hatty found herself in custody. Once the scandal had died down, she married Philip Cobb, a local solicitor. When Hatty was locked up, Philip enlisted the help of the famous investigator Arthur Crook. A good idea he thought, but the investigator seemed to regard him as the prime suspect.
