In this, her fifth outing, the widowed Lady Appleton is enjoying the attentions of a new suitor when she learns that Constance Crane, her late husband's mistress, and Crane's elderly cousin, a former nun, have been jailed for the heinous crime of "bewitching" two men to death. Showing more nobility than good sense, perhaps, Susannah puts the ill- will of the past behind her and vows to help the two imprisoned gentlewomen, who will be executed if convicted.<p> It's soon clear to Susanna, herself an herbalist of some renown, that the victims died of poison, not witchcraft. With the help of her housekeeper, she solves the crime and names the villain. No big surprises are in store for the careful reader, but clues and solutions aren't the important thing about these clever, well-researched novels. Emerson has a deft hand with the details of the customs and costumes of the Elizabethan era, and brings history to life with a light touch. Lady Appleton gets more interesting as she gets older, and her autonomy and audacity will win the reader's heart. <I>--Jane Adams</I> 275885 2000 Face Down Under The Wych Elm total:26|5:3|4:13|3:10|2:0|1:0| 26 97 38 4 284368 0758201672 9780758201676 25 4 3.73 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173407288m/284368.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/284368.Face_Down_Under_The_Wych_Elm 4 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 18:44:33 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 18:52:59 -0700 2009 Well crafted mystery, done in Elizabethan England, and as far as I can tell, historically correct.
