Face Down Under the Wych Elm | Kathy Lynn Emerson | Mystery | Mystery | eBooks
|
Her roguish husband now dead, Lady Appleton travels with a new suitor to Maidstone. While there, she learns that two gentlewomen, Constance Crane and her elderly cousin Lucy, are being jailed for bewitching two men to death -- and face execution if convicted. Although Constance happens to be a former mistress of her late husband, Robert, Susanna puts the past to rest and vows to help. Using her vast knowledge of herbs -- and the talents of her gossiping housekeeper -- Lady Appleton soon deduces that the deaths are the work of a mysterious poisoner. But can she root out the killer before Constance and Lucy face the gallows -- and before Susanna's own life is threatened?
"[Emerson] makes the early stages of the reign of Elizabeth I come gloriously to life." THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
