What happened at Cedar House in the tortured hours before Mathilda's death? The police assume that the coroner will return a verdict of suicide. Only Dr Blakeney, it seems, doubts the verdict. Until it is discovered that Mathilda's diaries have disappeared... Minette Walters: The Scold's Bridle. Pan, ISBN: 9781447208099 (March, 2012), 480 p., £7.99.
