Reprinted four times in paperbackReissued to coincide with the publication of Anne Somerset's new paperback The Affair of the Poisons'This is by far the most comprehensive account I have read of the Overbury scandal, combining a firm mastery of complex sources with a narrative drive that impels the reader to turn the page. It is also quite one of the best historical whodunits' Sir Roy Strong, Sunday Times'It is a gripping story, its intricacies expertly teased out by that seasoned historian of life at court, Anne Somerset' Roy Porter, Evening Standard'A well-researched and immensely detailed analysis of the Overbury case' Caroline Bingham, Times Literary Supplement'A gripping detective story. It tells us more about the corruption, debauchery and naked power-plays of 17th-century life than anything I have read' Christopher Hudson, Daily Mail
