The Affair of the Poisons by Anne Somerset
The Affair of the Poisons, as it was known, was a scandal at which 'all France trembled' and which 'horrified the whole of Europe' as it implicated a number of prominent persons at the court of the Sun King, King Louis XIV in the late 17th century. This book presents a narrative of the crimes of this period in France.
'The Affair of the Poisons is a beautifully researched account of this extraordinary case..With her customary intelligence and lucidity, Anne Somerset meticulously unravels this complex, fascinating affair and presents an informed opinion on what really happened.' -- Lucy Moore BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE (November)
