The Innocent Flower is a 1945 mystery novel by the American writer Charlotte Armstrong.[1] It is the final part of her trilogy featuring the amateur detective MacDougal Duff and was published in New York by Coward-McCann, an imprint of Putnam.[2] It was published in Britain under the alternative title Death Filled the Glass. After this trilogy, which was more in the style of the classic Golden Age story, she produced a stand-alone suspense novel The Unsuspected on the advice of her agents.[3]
