   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) LaurenThemself | Feb 20, 2024 |  The characters are likable and eccentric making for a fun read. The mystery is slow-paced but well-plotted and red herrings abound. I had an idea as to the killer but changed my mind multiple times, falling for the author's ploys. The ending was satisfying with a final shocking twist. I'd like to read more of the author's work. (  ) ElizaJane | Dec 21, 2023 | Porque la jaula, a su vez, estaba recubierta de flores, como una referencia a la Ofelia muerta de Hamlet: Shakespeare era una de las pasiones de la señora Gillespie. ¿Se podía, por tanto, deducir que la recargada y morbosa escenografía revelada, junto a la ausencia de signos de violencia, un suicidio? La doctora Sarah Blakeney, médica personal de la anciana y una de sus escasas amigas, no acababan de tenerlo claro. E investigaciones someras ponen de manifiesto viejos y terribles traumas familiares. Así como personas interesadas en la muerte de la señora Gillespie. Natt90 | Jan 13, 2023 | Back Cover Blurb: An old woman is found dead in her bath, her wrists slashed: an apparent suicide. But she is wearing a scold's bridle on her head, adorned with a crown of nettles. What could have driven her to such a desperate act? The rumours start to spread that her death wasn't suicide but murder. ( ) mazda502001 | Oct 16, 2022 |  ) Lillymao | Aug 4, 2022 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Mathilda Gillespie's body was found nearly two days after she had taken an overdose and slashed her wrists with a utility knife. But what shocked Dr. Sarah Blakeney the most was the rusted metal cage obscuring the dead woman's face--a medieval instrument of torture called a scold's bridle grotesquely adorned with a garland of nettles and Michaelmas daises. What happened at Cedar House in the tortured hours before Mathilda's death? Detective Sergeant Cooper, an elderly policeman nearing retirement, is under pressure from his superiors to bring in a verdict of suicide. And even Mathilda's daughter and granddaughter insist that illness drove her to commit the desperate, final act. Only Sarah and her husband, Jack, refuse to believe that the Mathilda they knew would have taken her own life. Then comes the reading of Mathilda's Last Will and Testament, which shocks her family into a stunned and bitter silence. For Dr. Sarah Blakeney has inherited everything.
