Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957)
Strong Poison (1930)

A mystery novel, now in the public domain in life+50 years countries.

Lord Peter Wimsey finds the woman of his dreams, Harriet Vane. Unfortunately, she is on trial for her life, accused of poisoning a former lover. Can he save her life? Is she innocent? If so, who did it?

I couldn’t resist adding a pulp-style cover. The antithetical juxtaposition between the traditional Golden Age detective and the American pulp was agreeably daft.
