Face Down Under the Wych Elm

Face Down Under the Wych Elm is the fifth entry in the Face Down Mystery Series. Widowed Elizabethan gentlewoman, herbalist, and sleuth, Susanna, Lady Appleton, feels an obligation to help an old acquaintance accused of being a witch, even though doing so means she may risk facing the same accusation herself. Long out of print in hardcover and mass market paperback, this trade paperback edition has been newly edited by the author. "Exploiting the chaos for its criminal possibilities, Emerson poses enduringly hard questions about women and worth in this exemplary historical mystery." starred review, Kirkus
