The Scold’s Bridle

SKU: 9781447208099

Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year, The Scold’s Bridle is the mystery thriller from crime queen Minette Walters. I wonder if I should keep these diaries under lock and key. Jenny Spede has disturbed them again .

. . What does she make, I wonder, of an old woman, deformed by arthritis, stripping naked for a young man? The pills worry me more.

Ten is such a round number to be missing . . .

Mathilda Gillespie’s body was found nearly two days after she had taken an overdose and slashed her wrists with a Stanley knife. But what shocked Dr Sarah Blakeney the most was the scold’s bridle obscuring the dead woman’s face, a metal contraption grotesquely adorned with a garland of nettles and Michaelmas daisies. What happened at Cedar House in the tortured hours before Mathilda’s death? The police assume that the coroner will return a verdict of suicide.

Only Dr Blakeney, it seems, doubts the verdict. Until it is discovered that Mathilda’s diaries have disappeared . .
