Sparkling Cyanide
by Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie always manages to fool me into suspecting the wrong person. I picked up this book because of another book I had read "Read to Death at the Lakeside Library" by Holly Danvers, which drew on some of the plot of Sparkling Cyanide. In the beginning we have Rosemary Barton, a wealthy heiress, killed by cyanide dissolved in her champagne in a swanky restaurant, the case is ruled as suicide but when her widower receives letters claiming his late wife was murdered, he decides to arrange a meal one year after her death inviting all those present at the original tragic incident but things don't turn out as he planned... It is left to Colonel Race to figure out whodunnit. I have read books by Ngaio Marsh and Dorothy L Sayers but for me Agatha Christie is the true Queen of this kind of murder mystery.
