Synopsis

A beautiful heiress is fatally poisoned at a West End restaurant...

Six people sit down to dinner at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary – in solemn memory of Rosemary Barton who died at the same table exactly one year previously.

No one present on that fateful night would ever forget the woman’s face, contorted beyond recognition – or what they remembered about her astonishing life.

About this title

Review:

“The denoument will probably come as a surprise to nine readers out of ten”
New York Times

“SPARKLING CYANIDE is the one ... which I should take with me to a desert island; for I find in it a seriousness and a psychological insight unparalleled in the author’s other works.’ Times Literary Supplement
