London, 1876: When newlywed barrister Charles Bravo ingests a rare
poison, the evidence suggests suicide. But in one of the most infamous
inquests of all time, a coroner finds it to be an unlawful murder. So
what really happened that day? The fourth book in Antony M. Brown's
popular Cold Case Jury series picks apart the notorious case that
gripped Victorian Britain--and continues to spark debate to this day.
Why did Bravo refuse any help, even when going through excruciating
pain? Was his wife, with her scandalous past, to blame? Perhaps it was
her ex-lover, jealous of her newfound happiness--or another sinister,
unseen hand? In Poisoned at the Priory, Brown compiles the evidence
and creates dramatic reconstructions of four main theories on how
Charles Bravo may have died. What will your verdict be?
