The Inheritor's Powder by Sandra Hempel

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not to my knowlege, but it was easy on the ear Have you listened to any of Patience Tomlinson’s other performances? How does this one compare? The fairly disgusting descriptions of the physical symptoms of arsenic poisoning What was one of the most memorable moments of The Inheritor's Powder?

A caste of the main characters would help, if that is possible with audible's format What made the experience of listening to The Inheritor's Powder the most enjoyable?Ī book for anyone who enjoyed "The Suspicions of Mr Wicher" - combining very thorough research and careful pacing of the plot that builds a vivid picture of rural society in the 1830s, with its web of relationships in the family and village - of people seemingly obsessed with money and inheritance, and accepting and dealing with death and its, to us, crude physical manifestations in a matter-of-fact way without touchy-feeliness.
