A pinch of this, a spoonful of that…
Emma is keeping busy with requests for her herbal remedies until one of her customers – none other than the president of the Ladies Benevolent Society – is found dead. Rumours abound. Was she poisoned by one of Emma’s concoctions? Emma must clear her name, but a second death forces a choice. Be charged with murder or risk being murdered.
Either way she’s in trouble.
