Book review: Strong Poison

Another DLS, alongside Gaudy Night etc. This one is the foundation story of Peter-meets-Harriet. I enjoyed reading it, the denouement was... acceptable, I guess; though I think Orwell's criticism comes to mind. Perhaps there is little else to say.

Oh, yeah, minor plot holes: in order to make the case against her, the police have to know that she went to various chemists and bought poisons. And she can trot out the excuse that it was research for a story. So she gave a fake name. The problem is, how did the police connect those (months old) purchases to her? Chemist to police officer (pointing at what is presumably one of many many entries in the poison book): "oh yes it was three months ago I recall her exactly". Really?

Goodreads doesn't have much to say either.
