Sir Mortimer Mordred - famous author of creepy Gothic horror novels - has recently purchased a nearby Elizabethan manor because it has a famous poison garden. Sir Mortimer approaches Lady Georgiana Rannoch and asks to borrow her new chef for his upcoming party. The tour of the poison garden is fascinating, as is Sir Mortimer's laboratory. Shockingly, just after the banquet several of the guests become sick. And one dies, apparently poisoned by berries from the garden. Georgie has to find the culprit to save her new chef and her own reputation.
