The Story of Ivy

The beautiful and ambitious Ivy got exactly what she wanted when she married Jervis Lexton for his money. At least, she thought she had. In fact, she got a whole lot less than she bargained for when he and his father gamble away much of their fortune. As Ivy's frustration grows, Jervis dies from a mysterious illness that investigators think may have been a poisoning. Amid accusations and fear, suspicion builds that Ivy may have been behind it. This is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's 'Miss Marple' books and the crime novels of Raymond Chandler.
