And what of Professor Elizabeth Green? In her fifties, this female protagonist woman sleuth 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 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.

Pick up this page-turning whodunnit series in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, Colin Dexter and Inspector Morse or Dorothy Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey, and a murder mystery fuelled by poison in the dark alleys of Cambridge today!
