Florence Bravo was a wealthy widow before she married Charles Bravo, a barrister in the 1860s and 70s in Victorian England who was angry that she wouldn’t share her inheritance with him. When Charles died, there were multiple people in his household who were suspects, because so many of them had a beef with him. This story was referred to in several Agatha Christie novels: Ordeal by Innocence, Elephants Can Remember, and The Clocks. So sorry to leave you hanging, but don’t worry…part two will come out in about 2 weeks. Sources and resources: Wikipedia SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. BRAVO. (1878, November 7).
