Plagued by rumors that she poisoned her fianc�e, Lucinda Bromley manages to live on the fringes of polite society. She tends her beloved plants and occasionally consults on a murder investigation, for the notorious botanist can detect almost any type of poison. But the murder of a lord has Lucinda shaken. She has detected a poison containing a very rare species of fern. So rare that the only specimen in England was in her conservatory - until it was stolen last month.

From AudioFile:

In this elegant and well-paced Arcane Society novel, lovely Lucinda Brombley is gifted with the psychic ability to detect poisons. She is dubbed "Lucrezia" (as in Borgia) after her fianc� dies while drinking poisoned tea. Enter handsome Caleb Jones, whose extraordinary psychic powers make him a master at solving problems but less than masterful at dealing with Lucinda. Together they must learn who is killing people and leaving a trail leading to Lucinda. Anne Flosnik's talents are well showcased in this Victorian mystery, and her ability to portray various characters--from the upper crust of London to the lowest Cockneys--makes for delightful listening.
