A young bride is discovered dead at a country house on her wedding day. Has she fallen victim to the deadly Withington curse, which strikes down any woman who marries into the family?
Forensic Pathologist Dr Bernard Spilsbury doesn’t believe in such superstitions, and suspects a more earthly reason for Theodora Tupper’s death.

There is no Withington Hall sadly in Yorkshire but plenty of Spilsbury sites in London!
The brand-new book in the Dr Spilsbury mysteries, a gripping historical crime series inspired by real life events. D. L. Douglas has been fascinated by true crime ever since she came face to face with Dr Crippen in the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud’s.
