Perfect Poison / Amanda Quick 352 p.
While acting as a botanical and poison expert in a murder investigation in Victorian era London, spinster Lucinda Bromley realizes that the poison used came from one of her plants. She hires Caleb Jones, the investigative member of the Arcane Society and descendant of an alchemist family, to find the murderer and keep her name out of the investigation and out of the press. She has been thoroughly scandalized in the gossip mongering papers when her fiance is poisoned after drinking tea she poured. Together, these two paranormals seek the thief who stole the poisonous plant and the brains behind the operation. Who knew that steamy romance would blossom between the spinster and the dedicated bachelor.
