Who poisoned the cruel and sinister Professor Appleby Derek Capel, his neighbour, in love with the Professor's wife, Eleanor Vera, the house-parlourmaid, Appleby's mistress Or was it Eleanor Appleby herself All three could be reasonably suspected of a motive which would prompt them to poison the most hateful villain who ever crossed the pages of fiction . . .
