The Poisoned Chocolates Case

The Poisoned Chocolates Case is by Anthony Berkeley. A classic historical fiction mystery from one of the members of the famous Detective Society. Graham and Joan Bendix have an apparently perfect marriage. Then he brings home a box of chocolates delivered to someone from his club, only to find they have been poisoned. He recovers, but his wife dies. The police bring the unsolved case to Roger Sheringham and his famous Crime Circle to see if they can solve the case. Each member then tells their own solution. Who is correct? A fun look at Golden Age detective fiction. 

Ratings: 8 out of 10 - 9th grade.
