Margery Allingham: No Love Lost (UK 1963)

From the Publisher:
Here in one volume are two swift-moving stories from one of the most popular writers of detective fiction.
In The Patient at Peacocks Hall a young and beautiful woman doctor fights to save the life of her rival; lost poison seems damning evidence, and dramatic revelations follow each other in a neatly constructed story of suspense, involving a film-star, a mysterious Frenchman, and other material for village gossip.

Safer than Love is set in a preparatory school at the beginning of the summer holidays. The headmaster's young wife has her own reasons for prevaricating when inquisitive neighbours in the smal! town inquire about her husband's whereabouts.
