Strong Poison by Dorothy L. SayersMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
At first I didn't think that I would like this book at all. The first two or three chapters dealt with a trial, and I mean THE trial. It was long and very boring. Once I got past that part, the book started to pick up. Harriet Vane is on trial for the murder of her ex boyfriend/fiancee. The Crown can't really pin the murder on her because all they have is that she was ironically writing a book where the character was poisoned to death. Which is how her ex dies and this is mentioned in the first few pages of the book. When the jury comes back with a hung verdict and new trial set Lord Peter Wimsey decides that he will be investigating this crime, and he's determined to find Harriet Vane innocent.
Like I said earlier, once you get past the first couple of chapters, this is a good book for those that enjoy reading about English murder mysteries.
