Crooked House (by Agatha Christie) read by David Horovitch (abridged, 3 discs).

3 generations of the Leonides family live together in a large, crooked looking house. The wealthy patriarch Aristide dies, injected not with his usual insulin (for his diabetes) but injected with a solution of eye drops (eserine, also-known-as physostigmine). The solution put strain on Aristide's weak heart causing his death.

Suspicion falls on the household (family members and the staff) including Aristide's widow who's about 50 years younger!

Can Charles Hayward, fiance of Aristide's granddaughter Sophia, help his father Sir Arthur Hayward and Chief Inspector Taverner solve the murder of Aristide Leonides?
