Description:
In Deadly Nightshade, the second novel in Elizabeth Daly’s acclaimed Henry Gamadge series, the urbane bibliophile-detective is drawn into a chilling case in a quiet New England town. When a group of children falls mysteriously ill—and one of them dies—suspicion falls on a seemingly harmless local woman. Rumors of poisoning and witchcraft spread quickly, threatening to destroy lives and reputations.
Called in by a friend, Gamadge uses his calm logic, subtle wit, and deep understanding of human nature to peel back layers of fear, prejudice, and secrecy. As he investigates, he uncovers long-buried tensions in the community and a far more complex motive than anyone suspected.
With her trademark elegance and psychological insight, Elizabeth Daly crafts a compelling and intelligent mystery that blends classic whodunit elements with a haunting atmosphere. Deadly Nightshade is a fine example of Daly’s Golden Age storytelling and showcases why she was one of Agatha Christie’s favorite American authors.
