Book excerpt: Eighth of the Lady Appleton mysteries, where Susanna uses her knowledge of herbs and her sleuthing abilities to solve the mystery of a man falling to his death. Her household of Leigh Abbey is faced with the possibility of a visit from Queen Elizabeth—and the Queen’s man needs to know whether the death was part of a plot against Elizabeth—or merely murder.
