Their respectable landlord has married a beautiful younger spouse, and beneath the surface of their domestic life, jealousy, deception, and illicit passion are taking root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonths later, the landlord is found dead at a remote country cottage, apparently poisoned after mistakenly eating deadly mushrooms—but he was an expert in wild fungi.
