The sixth book in the Lord Edgington mystery series. When Lord Edington receives a letter from a rich man who believes he is being poisoned, he and Christopher head off to prevent the murder. When Hugo Templeton-Swift is actually murdered, the pair must solve the murder they failed to prevent.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't really out to get you. Such is the case for Hugo Templeton-Swift who believes that he is being poisoned. When he is murdered, all evidence seems to point to his much younger wife. However, his three children are also visiting and have their own reasons for wanting to see Templeton-Swift dead. 
I hope we get to see more of Christopher's mother in subsequent books, she really is quite marvelous. Got to see Christopher grow a little more in this book though he still verges on tiresome at points.
