Rosemary Barton died from cyanide poisoning, nearly a year ago….
One year earlier on 2 November, seven people sat down to dinner at the
restaurant “Luxembourg”. One, Rosemary Barton, never got up. The coroner ruled
her death suicide due to post-flu depression. Six months later, her husband
George receives anonymous letters saying that Rosemary was murdered. George
investigates and decides to repeat the dinner at the same restaurant, with the
same guests, plus an actress who looks like his wife meant to arrive late and
startle out a confession. The actress doesn’t arrive and George dies at the
table- poisoned, like his wife, by cyanide in his champagne. His death might
have been judged as suicide, but George shared his concerns and some of his
plan with his friend Colonel Race.
If you want to know what happened further, you will find out after you read
the book.
Sparkling Cyanide is a work of detective fiction by

Did she commit suicide or was it a crime? This
question,was in my mind when I start to read the book. In my mind it
was one question. Who killed her and for what? When are you going to read the
book, you will find the answer for your question.
My opinion about the book, I want to tell one word. I
like this book. This book very interesting and suspense. You can read in
one day, if you know it.
I recommend reading, you will enjoy and second time
you will put your mind to find the murder and for what it was Rosemary and
George Barton kill? I want to tell you one thing, it is very interesting to
read.
I like it because the author describes the characters,
and the theme actions.
The book kept me
in suspense the whole time I read until I finished the book. And the
story of book is very exacting and easy to understand what happens after
that.
I recommend to all
ages who likes detective novels.
