      About This Book

      In the first installment of her delightful new mystery series, Kathy Lynn Emerson transports readers to Elizabethan England, where she introduces a wonderfully willful heroine who is centuries ahead of her time...

      When the poisoned body of Sir Robert Appleton's steward is discovered amidst the tasteful splendor of Appleton Manor's dining room, the genteel household is thrown into an uproar. Left behind at the sweeping ancestral estate while her husband embarks on a political mission for the new queen, Susanna, Lady Appleton takes it upon herself to investigate what she alone believes to be a cold-blooded murder. An expert herbalist, Susanna sets out to identify the deadly potion that killed the crusty old man-and to unmask a cunning killer bent on striking again...
