One of the Miss Silver mysteries. Lois Latter, a scheming young wife of an older man, is determined to remake his household in her image - very upsetting to the loyal retainers and her husband, who doesn't like change. Someone finds a way to poison her, and Miss Silver is called. A nice classic English country house mystery. I made an effort not to notice when Wentworth writes Miss Silver coughing before speaking several times per page, but I wasn't entirely successful. Good mystery but the coughing quirk means I won't search out more of these. No doubt it would not irritate everyone.
