Gwendoline’s discovery of Celia’s secret diary turns history on its head, revealing that while Celia was indeed poisoning her husband, she may not have been the one who dealt the final, fatal dose.
Compelled to uncover the truth, Gwendoline partners with a skeptical, handsome doctor, Alastair Finch.
