The Claverton Affair (2022)by John Rhode and Curtis Evans

A scientifically minded professor is stumped by a case involving s¨¦ances and an inexplicable inheritance . . .

After drifting apart from Sir John Claverton, Dr. Lancelot Priestley is finally visiting his old friend for dinner. But Claverton¡¯s situation is worrying. He¡¯s surrounded by relatives, among them a sister who speaks to the dead¡ªbut not to him¡ªand a niece who may or may not be a qualified nurse. Based on Claverton¡¯s odd behavior, Priestley and a mutual friend suspect that someone is slipping him arsenic.

But when Priestley discovers that Claverton has died just a week later and shares his concerns with the police, no trace of arsenic¡ªor anything else untoward¡ªis found during the autopsy. Still, the perceptive professor can¡¯t shake his sense that something isn¡¯t right, and Claverton¡¯s recently revised will only adds to the mystery . . .

¡°The puzzle is sound, the atmosphere menacing in a splendidly gloomy way.¡± ¡ªJacques Barzun and Wendell Hertig Taylor, A Catalogue of Crime
