Poisonous Plot HB - Susanna Gregory
KORTE INHOUD
In his 21st mystery, Batholomew must work fast to decipher the poison used to kill a man—as well as the killer himself—in a 14th-century college town on the brink of violence

Torn between loyalties to his kin and to his college, he fears the truth may destroy both his personal and professional life, but he knows he must use his skills as a physician to discover th...
