As Mossyhollow's apothecary, Sybell Buslingthorpe has her finger on the pulse of the village. When a well-loathed man is poisoned at a dinner party and the fianc e of Sybell's assistant, Joan, is the prime suspect, Sybell feels compelled to step in and solve the murder before the wrong person is accused. Sybell Buslingthorpe fills her days with caring for the sick, teasing her young assistant and his spunky fianc e, and going home to her garden and pet dragons. Free time is spent interacting with the village people of Mossyhollow and getting involved in the local politics. Everything an elderly apothecary could dream of. Her comfortable life is thrown into chaos when her dear friend, Anya Thorne, throws a dinner party and her friend's grandson is poisoned. Despite everyone hating him, Joan, as Anya's housekeeper, becomes the prime suspect. Knowing her assistant's fianc e is innocent, Sybell races against the clock to clear her name and find the real killer. She finds herself swept up in a world of politics and prejudice, where everyone has a motive, but few have the means and opportunity. Will Sybell be able to patch up Joan's reputation before it is too late?
