A murder of quality, by John Le Carre

John Le Carré's second book is a murder mystery that features George Smiley. Ailsa Brimley is the editor of a magazine and friend of Smiley; she's received a letter from a subscriber who wrote that she's afraid that her husband is trying to kill her. Brimley asks Smiley to investigate, but before he begins, the woman is found dead. Apparently, this is the only Smiley book that is not a spy story, but it's every bit as intriguing, with lots of twists and turns.
