Trade Secrets | 
pickA literary friend of Perilla's asks him to look into the death of her husband, though nobody, including the widow, seems particularly sorry he's dead. Meanwhile Corvinus's adopted daughter and her husband find a body which somebody had stabbed even though he was already dead of natural causes.
A nice twisty tale, made even more so by the fact that I kept getting Perilla and Marilla confused.
