mysterious
4.0
• Historical • Cozy Mystery • Christie adjacent • 2nd in Phyllida Bright series • 4-Stars
“A Trace of Poison” is the second novel in the Phyllida Bright Mystery series. The story revolves around a Murder Festival hosted by the village of Listleigh to raise funds for the repair of St. Wendreda’s orphanage. The event is attended by members of the Detection Club, including Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, and Anthony Berkeley. Aspiring writers have been encouraged to submit a short story, and the winner will receive a publishing contract. The first event of the fete is a cocktail party, but things take a dark turn when someone dies. It’s a mystery too intriguing for Phyllida Bright, housekeeper for Agatha Christy and her husband Max, to resist. It’s a daunting task considering that every guest is an expert in murder—and how to get away with it. . .
