The Poisoned Chalice

di Ross Danforth (Autore)

Ross Danforth, 2025

Wealth. Power. Secrets. And one poisoned chalice that shatters it all. When the crème de la crème of high society gather for an exclusive dinner party at the lavish Wexford Estate, the night promises refinement, luxury, and whispered alliances. But as the final toast is raised, one guest collapses—poisoned before the eyes of the elite guest list. Detective Clara Ashford, known for her razor-sharp mind and unflinching resolve, is called to investigate what quickly becomes a locked-room mystery drenched in aristocratic conspiracy and masked identities. Every guest harbors a motive: ambition, revenge, betrayal. Behind elegant smiles lie toxic relationships, clandestine motives, and twisted alibis. As Clara delves deeper, the opulent ballroom becomes a prison. With the mansion doors locked and a killer hiding in plain sight, time ticks away toward a second strike. Forensic clues point to a web of deception—hidden rivalries, a secret correspondence, and a decades-old scandal buried under layers of genteel suspense. But in this decadent gathering, no one is who they seem. A socialite scandal threatens to explode, alliances fracture, and every clue peels away another mask. Perfect for fans of psychological thriller novels and classic whodunit detective fiction, The Poisoned Chalice is a gripping mystery thriller filled with upper-crust intrigue, elite dinner party murder, and a game of power where trust can be deadlier than poison. Will Clara unveil the mastermind before another guest falls victim, or will the killer's elegant deception claim its final prize? A tale of betrayal at a banquet, of hush-hush investigations and unmasking the culprit—where every toast could be your last.
