Critics Review
Praise for The Perfect Poison
“A fast-paced Victorian-era novel of paranormal romantic suspense.”–The Seattle Times“Fascinating…Once again, Quick expertly, even magically, dispenses delectably witty dialogue, simmering sexual chemistry and a plot laced with secrets, dangers and surprises.”–Booklist
“Seductiveness and clever plotting combine with Quick’s classic zingy wit to produce a funny, fast-paced romp that will please readers.”–Library Journal “Quick invents two dazzling nineteenth-century sleuths who combine paranormal prowess and raw sexual heat. But if they excel at fooling Mother Nature, it’s their all-too-human nature that brings this uncommon Victorian duo to life.”–Publishers Weekly
“An exhilarating historical romantic suspense that is filled with a strong cast, terrific twisting plots and a sense of time running out that grips the audience with a need to know the outcome in one sitting…a great Victorian sleuthing duet.”–Midwest Book Review
