What Amazon readers are saying:
"Another lovely book in this series, easy to read as a stand alone. Enjoy!" Amazon Review
"I love all the books in this series. They never disappoint. I love the characters, especially Elizabeth as she's a vegan animal lover and smart as a whip. Godric is lovable and Abley and Lemon are a great team. I never work out who the culprit is until the end. Can't wait for the next one!” Amazon review
And what of the plot?
Professor Elizabeth Green is not herself, shut in her bedroom she doesn’t even have time for her grandson, Godric, whom she adores. As the director of the student play, Godric, meanwhile, attends a College Valentine’s Banquet with some of his troupe.
Soon after, he is one actor down, a body is found. Meanwhile, Inspector Abley’s messy divorce has brought him alone to Grantchester, as Sergeant Lemon steps in to lend support. With mystery after mystery building up, will Professor Green open her door to help?
This series celebrates everything traditional and eccentric about some of the lives and customs in the heart of the historic city of Cambridge. If you enjoy intelligent storytelling, strong and vulnerable characters with twists and turns of the plot, then you’ll love the puzzles of the Cambridge Murder Mysteries
And what of Professor Elizabeth Green?
In her fifties, this female protagonist is quintessentially English. An eccentric professor in her ivory tower, she maintains a sharp wit, yet is flawed by her inability to connect well with people, instead of giving off a cold, opinionated and sometimes acerbic air.
Though very kind to all animals (dogs, cats and the rest!) - a vegan - and a great gardener, in truth she keeps her friends close, and only lets a few dear people into her world.
And what of the setting?
If you like Cambridge, either you live there or may have visited, or even used to study there, then this story involving the female protagonist Elizabeth Green will transport you.
Hugely popular local Cambridge author makes historic city in England leap off the page with POISON, this gripping novel, the first in the Cambridge Murder Mystery Series.
