The Poisonous Solicitor: The True Story of a 1920s Murder Mystery A meticulously researched and engaging narrative investigation into a notorious 1920s case that inspired some of the most famous detective writers of the time. In February 1921, Katharine Armstrong died under mysterious circumstances, and her husband, Herbert Rowse Armstrong, was arrested, tried, and executed for poisoning her with arsenic.

With a wealth of detail and a compelling narrative, Bates sheds new light on this infamous crime. Carefully researched and engaging, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in true crime and the history of detective fiction. 336 pages, paperback.
