説明
In a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the dark arts of toxicology, a celebrated mystery novelist finds herself ensnared in a web of intrigue. Harriet Vane, well-versed in the composition and effects of poisons, finds her life turned upside down when her former lover is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The tragedy not only haunts her but also casts a shadow on her reputation, as the authorities turn their accusatory gaze in her direction.
As the investigation unfolds, Harriet's intimate knowledge of poisons becomes both a blessing and a curse. With mounting pressure from the media and the justice system, she must navigate a treacherous landscape where every detail could either save her or seal her fate. Her intellectual prowess and sharp wit are pitted against the relentless pursuit of truth, as she digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding her lover's death.
Amidst the tension, the story explores themes of love, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. Harriet's journey ultimately challenges her to confront her past and redefine her connection to loss, all while racing against time to clear her name and seek justice for the man she once loved.
