Staff Pick

Perfect Poison is a delightful romp; it has all my favorite things: romance, suspense, mystery, and paranormal goings-on. This book, the sixth in the Arcane Society series, is a special treat for anyone who enjoys either the contemporary romantic thrillers that Jayne Ann Krentz writes under her own name, or the historical novels like Perfect Poison that she writes as Amanda Quick. I've been a fan of hers for years and she never disappoints.

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz) delivers her reliable blend of sex and suspense in her latest Arcane Society novel. In Victorian London, spinster botanist and psychic Lucinda Bromley meets her match in Caleb Jones, a member of the Arcane Society and descendant of an alchemist family that makes him 'the stuff of myth and legend.' Together, this paranormal pair of snoops sets out to track down a thief who made off with a dangerous plant implicated in the death of a wealthy lord, but wind up uncovering a sinister secret order. Quick invents two dazzling 19th-century sleuths who combine paranormal prowess and raw sexual heat. But if they excel at fooling Mother Nature, it's their all too human nature that brings this uncommon Victorian duo to life." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Victorian London holds many secrets. But none are so closely guarded as those of the shadowy Arcane Society. In her suspenseful new novel, New York Times - bestselling author Quick delves into this underworld of passion, greed, and powers that lie beyond this realm.
