The Scold's Bridle: A Novel | Minette Walters

A well-off older woman is found dead with a scold‘s bridle (a punishment device) on her head. Initially thought to be suicide, her death is then thought to be murder once her will is revealed. I haven‘t read Walters in a long time and was a little concerned I would no longer like her, but needn‘t have been. This is a well-crafted mystery with good development of characters and subplots.
