The End of the Shadow
DRINK TO ME ONLY
Young publisher Tony Marvell had made a smashing success of his book company--and a smashup of his personal life. It had been a lark to have a rich wife, an adoring mistress, and a new girlfriend. But Tony's deluded world would come crashing down the night his wife consumed too much wine and some deadly pills. The inquest called it a tragic accident. Yet going around in Tony's circle of friends and lovers were whispers of a dreadful suspicion.

A woman dies of an overdose of medication. Was it suicide? Murder? If murder, by whom? Her husband, his soon-to-be-left-behind mistress, his business partner? Lots of twists and turns in the plot and a decent read but ultimately depressing.
