The Perfect Poison/Amanda Quick/340 pgs





This is the sixth title in the Arcane Society series and is the story of Caleb Jones, the founder of Jones & Jones and takes place back in the Victorian age. He is hired by a botanist, Lucinda Bromley when she discovers that a very rare plant which is poisonous has been stolen from her and used to murder a lord. She has been accused of poisoning her fiance in the past and does not want to go thru that again. Once again they are fighting the Emerald Tablet - this version is calling themselves the Seventh Circle and the Founders formula. Of course, Lucinda and Caleb are attracted to each other but Caleb has been told that his particular power will cause him to go mad and kill himself so he says he will not marry Lucinda. It all works out in the end with a few detours of course.
