A nice little country murder. When Ronald Craig succumbed after a short illness it came as a surprise, but when a specialist called down to consult declares the death as due to chronic arsenic poisoning it proves even more of a puzzle. There are plenty of suspects, the ex-wife, the reluctant fiance, the governess who doesn't care for children, the widow of the dead-man's cousin, the attending physician, his sister, each with a motive, and each lacking an alibi. There are plenty of clues as well, footprints in the garden, the curious tea, the torn wrapping of the package never sent to name but a few. All in all, quite a tangle. No wonder then that Chief Constable was only too happy to turn the investigation over to Chief Inspector Pointer of Scotland Yard who fortuitously was in the neighborhood on another matter. But is even Inspector Pointer up to solving . . The Craig Poisoning Mystery!

The Craig Poisoning Mystery, first published in 1930, is a classic British 'golden-age' murder mystery. The book, authored by A. E. Fielding (whose real identity remains itself somewhat of a mystery), features Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Pointer, who is called to a country estate after the owner is found dead due to chronic arsenic poisoning. From the dustjacket: The case arising out of the death of Ronald Craig was one of the most perplexing that Chief Inspector Pointer ever had to solve. No clue, recognized as such, was left behind either as to the motive for the crime, the criminal, or the way in which the crime was carried out. Pointer has to hunt for each in turn. Though the circle is narrowed down to a handful of the dead man's intimates, yet it turns and re-turns in a very baffling manner.

Ronald Craig's death from arsenic poisoning riles up lot of feathers in a small country side with each person having a strong motif! Excerpt: "You say you're going up to town, Bob, as soon as you've left here. Anywhere near Pont Street? Good. Then do you mind wheeling that nearer to me?" The sick man waved a thin, but still brown hand, to where a little writing cabinet, shaped like a miniature roll-top desk, stood on a swing table. "Thanks," he went on. "Just wait a minute, will you, while I write a note. If you'll drop it in Houghton's letter-box, or hand it in yourself, I shall be much obliged." He hesitated. "Yourself," he repeated. "It's most important, and I don't want to wait for the post."

The night Mrs.Tangye committed suicide with her service-revolver, the maid heard footsteps in the garden which suddenly stopped when she switched on the light! Whose footsteps were they? Did Mrs.Tangye actually commit suicide or, was she murdered? Excerpt: "They were talking of the death of Mrs.Tangye who had been found, yesterday afternoon, sitting dead beside her tea-table, with a service-revolver lying on the floor beside her, and a bullet from it through her heart. The Webley was a souvenir of her days as an officer in the Waacs during the last year of the war, and was kept on a bracket in the room. Her husband had explained to the Coroner that his wife had recently spoken of having her initials engraved on it. He suggested that she must have been looking it over with that in her mind when she had met with her fatal accident."
