Blackheath Poisonings: a Victorian Murder Mystery English Language edition

The Collard and Vandervent families for decades have shared a large estate in the elegant London suburb of Blackheath. It's the 1890s and the families' near-incestuous entanglement has grown into a toxic web of lies and bitterness. While mama keeps an iron grasp on the purse strings, an unmarried daughter sucks greedily on her own disappointment, a son raises corruption to an art form, and an ethereal daughter-in-law casts come-hither glances at anything in pants. She casts them frequently at young Paul Vandervent, who responds by filling his journal with fevered love poems. When one member after another of the extended clan falls victim to gastric misadventure, and his beloved falls under suspicion, Paul embarks on an equally feverish quest to clear her name.
