The Poyson Garden

The Poyson Garden - Karen Harper I don't think I am going to bother continuing on with this series. The premise of the book was interesting enough, but in this case, Elizabeth I's Mystery Inc. gang failed miserable.
Once it was revealed who the poisoner was, I gave up. I skipped to the last chapter and the afterward. I didn't want to read any more than I already had.
I nearly threw this book back in the library drop box at the first mention of Bloody Mary. For starters, I hate that name given to Mary I. She wasn't responsible for the murder of any more "heretics" than her father and brother before her or her sister after her. I imagine that if Mary I hadn't been a devout Catholic, she would have never been branded with such a terrible nickname. Secondly, in my research I have found no mention of Mary I being referred to as Bloody Mary during her reign. From what I can find she was not called Bloody Mary for the first time until nearly six years after her death. Mary I is not alive to defend herself. It's a little unfair to call her names.
If you are a fan of Elizabethan fiction, there are far better books out there. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with this one.
