Synopsis

Before Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves wrote the George and Molly Palmer-Jones series following remarkable mysteries in a birdwatching community—now available for the first time in the US.

Landlord and politician Marcus Grenville wants to convert Ursula Ottway’s beautiful cottage into a holiday residence. So when Ursula discovers that the illegal use of poisoned bait on Grenville’s land has killed not only a rare bird of prey but her two beloved cats, she storms to his house and threatens revenge.

The next morning, Molly Palmer-Jones arrives at her Aunt Ursula’s house only to find her body slumped lifeless on the sofa. Shocked and saddened, Molly and her husband George decide to piece together a picture of Ursula’s last days. And it soon becomes clear that, for many people on the estate, hers was a very convenient death.

The Palmer-Joneses embark on a murder investigation but even their professional expertise doesn’t prepare them for what is to follow. A lifetime’s worth of secrets must surface before a killer can finally be brought to justice . . .

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Goodreads review by Beverley on January 04, 2026

This book is much better than the first one in the George and Molly series, clearly showing Ann Cleeves' development as a writer. It offers some light reading, an interesting plot with a lot of red herrings and a satisfying conclusion.......more

This was vintage Anne Cleaves. It was was well written and the plot cleverly constructed. The setting was rural north England and I felt almost involved in the way of life and running of the estate and the politics therein.......more

Goodreads review by Clive on June 24, 2024

Before Vera, before Jimmy Perez, and even before Inspector Ramsay, Ann Cleeves had Molly and George Palmer-Jones as amateur sleuths. Another Man’s Poison has been reissued by an imprint of Macmillan Publishers. Molly Palmer-Jones arrives to visit her elderly aunt, Ursula Ottway, and finds her lifeles......more
