This murder mystery shows how the looks can be utterly deceiving. The main character looks like she has it all, but she hides a dark secret and an enemy determined to expose her true personality. Excerpt: "Nevertheless, the smile faded from her face, and her features became harsh and almost haggard as she lounged back in the shadow. She wondered what all her superficial friends would say if they knew the truth. She had had her enemies, too, but these she had conquered by sheer force of character. Two years ago she had been unknown to the great world of London, and now she had reached the top of the shimmering flood by sheer fascination and audacity. Yet "All that glitters is not gold," and this brilliant creature was dross to the core." Frederick White (1859–1935), mostly known for mysteries, is considered also as one of the pioneers of the spy story.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In 'A Fatal Dose,' Fred M. White intricately weaves a tale of suspense that encapsulates the darker sides of human ambition and moral conflict. Set against a backdrop of Victorian England, the narrative follows a gripping plot centered on a mysterious poison and the devastating consequences it unleashes upon the lives of its characters. White's literary style is marked by a deft blend of vivid characterizations and a tightly woven, suspenseful narrative structure that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The exploration of themes such as betrayal, guilt, and the quest for justice resonates deeply within the socio-political context of the era, illustrating the complex interplay between scientific advancement and ethical considerations. Fred M. White, an accomplished author and playwright known for his extensive contributions to detective fiction, had a penchant for exploring the depths of human psyche and morality. His experiences and observations in society during the late 19th century informed his writing, where he often delved into the ramifications of crime and the societal influences that shape individual choices. This background undoubtedly inspired the intricate plotting and psychological depth found in 'A Fatal Dose,' showcasing White's ability to evoke both tension and empathy. I highly recommend 'A Fatal Dose' to readers who appreciate masterful storytelling that combines intricate plots with profound thematic depth. Written with a keen eye for detail and an understanding of human frailty, this novel not only engages but also challenges its audience to reflect on the moral dilemmas it presents. For those keen on classic mysteries woven with psychological intrigue, White's work is sure to deliver a thrilling and thought-provoking reading experience. Seller Inventory # 9788027336517
