About this ebook
The beautiful and ambitious Ivy got exactly what she wanted when she married Jervis Lexton for his money.
At least, she thought she had.
In fact, she got a whole lot less than she bargained for when he and his father gamble away much of their fortune.
As Ivy's frustration grows, Jervis dies from a mysterious illness that investigators think may have been a poisoning.
Amid accusations and fear, suspicion builds that Ivy may have been behind it.
This is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's 'Miss Marple' books and the crime novels of Raymond Chandler.
Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was an English novelist and the sister of author Hilaire Belloc. Her first published work was the 1898 biography 'HRH The Prince of Wales: An Account of His Career'. She went on to produce more than 40 novels - mainly mysteries and sometimes based on true crime. Her writing was popular for many decades and had a following among authors, including Ernest Hemingway, who admired her understanding of female psychology.
