Before the Poison by Peter Robinson

5.0

Chris Lowndes is an accomplished composer of film scores. He has come home from Hollywood, to England, to a remote house in the Yorkshire Dales that he bought sight unseen. It's what he has wanted for a long time, but he didn't imagine that it would only happen after his beloved wife had died and he was alone.

But is he so alone? The house has a history, of a man dying from being poisoned by his wife sixty years ago, and he's pulled into the story as he tries to make sense of what he's discovered, and told by the locals.

This was an exciting, engaging read, and I want to read more by this author.
