ReviewsAdvance praise forThe Poyson Garden: "A walk side by side with one of history's most dynamic characters." --Anne Perry, author ofBreach of Promise "Romantic suspenser Harper kicks off a series that could find fertile ground in the homicides that littered Elizabeth's 45-year reign." --Kirkus Reviews "Like the very best historical mysteries, it is driven by the events and attitudes of its time period....A deafening round of applause is due." --Miriam Grace Monfredo, author of the Seneca Falls Historical Mysteries

SynopsisFans of bestselling authors Anne Perry and Ellis Peters are sure to love Karen Harper's new historical mystery series, rich with period detail and featuring Elizabeth Tudor, the future queen of England, as its heroine. Living in exile in the English countryside, the twenty-five-year-old Princess Elizabeth awaits her fate during the waning years of her ill and childless half sister's reign. Despite an occasional truce, there has always been bad blood between Queen Mary and the princess since Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, replaced Mary's mother, Catherine of Aragon, in the heart of King Henry VIII. Mary has already sent Elizabeth to the Tower of London when a group of Protestants raise a rebellion in her name, forcing Mary to release her, and the half sisters into an uneasy détente. Little does Elizabeth know that in the autumn of 1558, she will be called upon to explore not only England's rural heartland, but also her own heart. At great risk to her person and her nation's future, she plunges herself into an investigation of a multiple murder where she might very well become a master poisoner's next victim.
