From Susan Wittig Albert, the New York Times bestselling author of
A Plain Vanilla Murder, comes a tightly crafted novel that
juxtaposes the disappearance of a rare, remarkably illustrated
18th-century herbal with the true and all-too-human story of its
gifted creator, Elizabeth Blackwell. Herbalist China Bayles' latest
adventure takes her to the mountains of North Carolina, where her
friend Dorothea Harper serves as the director and curator of the
Hemlock House Library, a priceless collection of rare gardening
books housed in a haunted mountainside mansion that once belonged
to Sunny Carswell, a reclusive heiress. But the most valuable
book-A Curious Herbal, created by Elizabeth Blackwell in the
1730s-is missing and Dorothea is under suspicion. China's search
for the thief takes on a new urgency when she discovers Miss
Carswell's bookseller, the victim of an attempted murder. Is his
shooting connected with the theft? And there are other urgent
questions: What is the Hemlock Guild? Who owns Socrates.com? Did
Sunny Carswell really kill herself, or does her ghost have a
different story to tell? And what is the real truth behind the many
tantalizing mysteries of A Curious Herbal? Hemlock is a compelling
mix of mystery and herb lore, past secrets and present sins, and
characters who are as real as your friends and neighbours-in an
absorbing novel that only Susan Wittig Albert could create.
