Books like Is she dead too? by Anthony Gilbert


After Edwin Poulden, a village druggist, dies of a mushroom‑related illness, his household is struck again when an elderly paying guest, Blanche Bannerman, collapses and is later found dead. The inquest attributes her death to a fright from a feared cat and a slip, but the coincidence of two deaths within six months draws the attention of sleuth Arthur Crook. With the help of young Patsy and the local gossip of Margaret Reeve, Crook delves into hidden motives and unexplained conversations, racing in his red sports car to determine whether the deaths are mere accidents or intentional killings.
