A body in Uncle Albert's library! Is someone trying to frame Lady Caroline's uncle for murder, or will he be the killer's next victim?
It's high summer in the English countryside. Flowers bloom in the gardens, bees hum in the bushes, and Uncle Albert is hidden deep in his greenhouse growing a very deadly plant. So when a body is discovered in his library, all clues point to Lady Caroline's beloved relation as the suspect.
Now, drawn into the strange world of Uncle Albert's estate-a place of sprawling gardens, poisonous plants, and well-concealed resentments-Lady Caroline must untangle a mystery about family secrets and long-forgotten misdeeds.
Yet the more clues she uncovers, the more questions about Uncle Albert's past she discovers. Soon, with Uncle Albert determined to thwart her investigation at every step, Lady Caroline begins to wonder if she truly knows him.
But could Uncle Albert be a killer?
With tea brewing and slices of cake being passed around, will Lady Caroline succeed in finding answers to all her questions? Or will she let her guard down and forget that on Uncle Albert's estate, just because the tea is served in a porcelain cup does not mean it is safe to drink.
A Cup Full of Poison is Book 10 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.
Note to my readers: Since this is a country house mystery with a closed circle of suspects that takes place on Uncle Albert's estate, James and Poppy are not featured in this book. I know they are popular characters with readers of the series, and they will be back in the next adventure, set during the wedding of Lady Caroline's brother.Also from
