Face down upon an herbal

Herbalist Susanna, Laddy Appleton, made her sleuthing debut in Face Down in the Marrow-Bone Pie, which Kensington published in paperback in April 2000. Now, in her second outing, Susanna is ordered by Queen Elizabeth to help complete a new book on botanical decorations. Susanna soon realizes there is more to the royal request when a houseguest is found murdered -- face down upon the very book she herself authored. -- Historical mystery is a strong category today. -- Will appeal to fans of Edward Martson, Candace Robb and Peter Tremayne. -- We will publish the third book in the series, Face Down Among the Winchester Geese, in Kensington Mass Market in April 2000.
