Was the death of unsavory lawyer Vail Wilford a suicide? Or was it murder? Is the typewritten suicide note genuine? Was his wife Honora’s belladonna really just used in her beauty routine, or might it have played a more sinister role? And what might Honora’s dreams reveal about events?

Professor Craig Kennedy, scientist detective who uses some surprisingly modern investigation techniques, features in another mystery by prolific author Arthur B. Reeve. Published in 1919. (Summary by Verla Viera) (7 hr 26 min)

This is a little long winded. A fun society murder case though.
