It is 1923 and Saffron Everleigh is a research assistant to Dr. Maxwell studying plants, especially poisonous ones. She is invited to a dinner party with the professors at the college. Dr. Henry, a colleague is also attending with his wife when she is falls ill. The doctors determine she was poisoned by an unknown toxin and since that is Dr. Maxwell’s specialty, he is the main suspect. Saffron knows that he is innocent and sets about trying to find evidence to clear his name.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are fully developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. The story is well written, and I hope to read more books by this author in the future. If you love a good cozy mystery, you should give this one a try.
