this book helped me with my mst project in chemestry i hope it will help other people in school and other places too.

This book was not very interesting. It started off with Margaret Cooper, the main character getting married. She wrote a letter to her friend Tom Cribbins, saying she wanted a divorce from her husband to be free like him. Margaret threw away the letter, but didn't know that her housekeeper had picked it up. Within a week, Margaret's husband died. Margaret was blamed and Etta, her housekeeper, went against Margaret saying Margaret did it. She went on trial and was found innocent. Margaret moved out to a house flat where she could live in piece. Her attorney, Aubrey Fielding, came to visit Margaret one day and they hit it off. After 2 months, they got married. That was when Margaret received a blackmail letter. It said arrive at a place so she went. It was Etta blackmailng her. That went on through the whole book. Margaret then went to Arthur Crook complaining about the blackmail and being accused of murdering her husband. Mr. Crook said all they had to do was wait. Murder was a waiting game. So Margaret waited, until she visited Etta again, saw the conversation being recorded, and smashed the recorder. Etta's husband then came and saw Margaret saying Etta was dead. Arthur was also hit and injured being pushed down a flight of stairs. Through the rest of the book, Etta's husband blackmailed Margaret and Arthur was frantically figuring it out. This book was not that interesting. I only gave it 2 stars. I would only recommend this book to people who follow long murder's with no action.
