The Perfect Poison by Amanda Quick Book 6 of Arcane Society Plagued by rumors that she poisoned her fiancé, Lucinda Bromley manages to live on the fringes of polite society, tending her beloved plants—and occasionally consulting on a murder investigation. For the notorious botanist possesses a ...
I really did enjoy this book, and it's probably the first historical in Jayne Ann Krentz's Arcane Society that I actually, really liked. For whatever reason, I'm not certain. The characters were great, and the romance wasn't entirely formulaic Amanda Quick. I will post a more thought-out review ...
Long story short, I liked this one much better than "The Third Circle." I am still not thrilled about the lack of a true ending with these books though. The way that Amanda Quick/Jayne Anne Krentz, etc. wrote these, is that you have to read contemporary and regency books in order to follow this seri...
When I first started giving audiobooks a try on my commute to work, I checked out the audio version of this book on CD and quite enjoyed it. It's been a few years, so when I saw it on the library shelf I impulsively grabbed it to see how well I liked the story after reading it. It was good, but i...

I listened to this on Audio and found it to be a very good book. The woman who did the voices struggles with the male parts, but otherwise was excellent. I really didn't feel like this was a romance - it was 9 CD's long and there were only 2 'love' scenes and this takes place in Victorian England, s...
So far this is the Arcane Society novel that has stayed with me. I'm intrigued by the idea of sensing poison. Also, there's something so exotic about plant collections--hunting through the Amazon--even if it's not described in the book, the aura of adventure lingers. Plus there's Caleb -- I've been ...
I came in the middle of this series by starting at book 5 rather than book 1. Although I was a bit lost with the plot line I didn’t feel completely lost with the story and it didn’t hamper my enjoyment of it. This is typical Amanda Quick novel where the broken hero sets out to save the heroine. Ther...
As leader of the newly-founded paranormal investigative agency Jones & Company, Caleb Jones has his hands full. But that doesn't prevent him from taking on another assignment. A peculiar one, not really in league with what his agency deals with. This is a case of a fern-napping. Someone stole a prec...
