''The Scold's Bridle'' (1994) is a crime novel by English writer Minette Walters. The book, Walters' third, won a CWA Gold Dagger. ==Synopsis== Mathilda Gillespie, an eccentric recluse known for her incredible meanness of nature, is found dead in her bathtub, her wrists slashed and her head locked inside a so-called 'scold's bridle', a rusted cage built with tongue clamps which was used as a torture device throughout the middle ages. The dead woman's only friend, Dr. Sarah Blakeney, becomes prime suspect in her murder after police discover that she's been left a great deal of money in the will. To clear her name, Sarah delves deep into Mathilda's mysterious past, and subsequently unravels an intricate web of greed, abuse and depravity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.minettewalters.co.uk/books/scolds_bridle.htm )〕
