Another man's poison

Ursula Ottway's beautiful cottage is wanted by her landlord, politician Marcus Grenville, for conversion into a holiday residence. When Ursula discovers that the illegal use of poisoned bait on Grenville's land has killed not only a rare bird of prey but also her two beloved cats, she storms to his house, threatening revenge. Arriving at her aunt Ursula's house the following morning, Molly Palmer-Jones is shocked to find her body slumped lifeless on the sofa.
Devastated by the loss, Molly and her husband George decide to piece together a picture of Ursula's last days - and it soon becomes clear that, for many people on the estate, this was a very convenient death. Embarking on a murder investigation to bring the killer to justice, their professional expertise doesn't prepare them for what is to follow, as a lifetime's worth of secrets begins to surface...

Another Mon's Poison is the fifth mystery novel featuring George and Molly Palmer-Jones by Ann Cleeves, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Vera Stanhope, Shetland and Two Rivers crime series.
