When mystery writer Harriet Vane is accused of the murder of her lover, the evidence seems pretty damning. Not an hour after leaving her flat, Philips Boyes is found dead in the back of a taxi cab - from arsenic poisoning.
An open and shut case, it appears; watching from the gallery, Freddy ARbuthnot theinks the jury will be back in no time. His friend Lord Peter Wimsey disagrees - and when, five hours later, no verdict has been returned, it looks though Lord Peter may be right.
But if Harriet didn't murder Boyes, who did?

the elegant amateur sleuth needs all his powers of deduction in this intriguing full-cast dramatization from one of Britain's greatest crime writers.

the audiobook is nicely made and lively spoken. The characters are interesting and seems to be full of live.
The murder, which has also been suspected a suicide finally can be solved - however it takes time to get to the final conclusion and a lot of traps are there for the interested reader/listener.
One needs to keep in mind, that people can take arsenic in small dosage to train the body to survive arsenic poisoning - and exactly this has been used by the murderer.
