The Scold's Bridle (häftad, eng)

<p><b>Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year, <i>The Scold's Bridle</i> is the mystery thriller from crime queen Minette Walters. </b><br><br><i>I wonder if I should keep these diaries under lock and key.

Jenny Spede has disturbed them again . . . What does she make, I wonder, of an old woman, deformed by arthritis, stripping naked for a young man? The pills worry me more. Ten is such a round number to be missing . . . <br></i><br> Mathilda Gillespie's body was found nearly two days after she had taken an overdose and slashed her wrists with a Stanley knife.

But what shocked Dr Sarah Blakeney the most was the scold's bridle obscuring the dead woman’s face, a metal contraption grotesquely adorned with a garland of nettles and Michaelmas daisies. What happened at Cedar House in the tortured hours before Mathilda's death?<br><br> The police assume that the coroner will return a verdict of suicide.

Only Dr Blakeney, it seems, doubts the verdict. Until it is discovered that Mathilda’s diaries have disappeared . . .</p>
