Saffron Everleigh, a fledgling botanist at University College London, usually doesn't enjoy socializing with her fellow academics. Many of their attitudes are strictly 19th century--but this is 1923, and Saffron realizes she must attend the occasional party if she's to make any sort of progress, so a celebratory gathering before an expedition to the Amazon, it is! Things are definitely looking up when she meets a handsome, taciturn bacteriologist, but then a faculty wife keels over after sipping some champagne--and not from drunkeness. The police suspect poison--and the botany department is in their spotlight. First of a charming series. Also available as an eBook and on eAudio through hoopla with no waiting.
