The Chinese Shawl by Patricia Wentworth

Tanis Lyle was one of those passionate women who always get their own way. Her cousin Laura hated her. Most women did. But men found her irresistible and she used them mercilessly.



So when Tanis was found murdered there seemed to be any number of suspects on hand.



But Miss Silver had her own suspicions . . .
