A brilliant mystery. A charming detective. A woman’s life hanging in the balance.

Harriet Vane is on trial for murder—accused of poisoning her former lover with arsenic. The evidence is damning, the scandal sensational, and the jury divided. But one man believes she’s innocent: the sharp-witted and irresistibly eccentric Lord Peter Wimsey.

Determined to prove Harriet’s innocence, Wimsey launches his own investigation into the tangled web of secrets and motives. As he closes in on the truth, he finds himself entangled not just in a murder case—but in unexpected feelings for the accused.

Strong Poison introduces the captivating Harriet Vane and deepens the human dimension of Lord Peter Wimsey’s detective work. With razor-sharp dialogue, clever plotting, and romantic tension, this golden-age mystery is one of Dorothy L. Sayers’ most enduring classics.
