The Poisonous Seed by Linda Stratmann

The Poisonous Seed by Linda Stratmann

When a customer of William Doughty's chemist shop dies of strychnine poisoning after drinking medicine he dispensed, William is blamed, and the family faces ruin. William's daughter, nineteen year old Frances, determines to redeem her ailing father's reputation and save the business. She soon becomes convinced that the death was murder, but unable to convince the police, she turns detective. Armed only with her wits, courage and determination, and aided by some unconventional new friends, Frances uncovers a startling deception and solves a ten year old murder. There will be more deaths, and a secret in her own family will be revealed before the killer is unmasked, and Frances will find that her life has changed forever. The first book in the popular Frances Doughty Mystery series.

"Her adventures as a detective, and the slowly unraveling evidence of multiple crimes in a murky Victorian setting, make for a gripping read" -- The Historical Novels Review "Her knowledge of the London area in which the Victorian Frances lived is detailed and cleverly given in a way that avoids any tedium." --Mystery Women

Linda Stratmann is the author of several books including Chloroform: The Quest for Oblivion and Greater London Murders.
