Trent's Last Case (Version 2)
by Edmund Clerihew Bentley
This is one of a series of EC Bentley novels featuring the highly erudite artist qua reporter / detective, Philip Trent.

As Trent pokes around, attention is focused on Manderson’s extremely troubled marriage, not least because Trent himself falls in love with Margaret Manderson, the widow of the murdered man. At the same time, Trent himself considers her to be at least complicit in the crime for much of the novel. The plot cannot be described further without spoiling the punch-line, as it were. Indeed, to the really clever detective fiction-l
