Summary

February 1605. A series of killings shake the quiet life of Devon's Tavy valley.

Country doctor Gabriel Taverner, summoned to examine the bodies, believes the murders are somehow connected to a mysterious woman recently discovered in shocking circumstances. Gabriel is determined to solve the mystery, and soon uncovers clues that link his unexpected patient to the brutal killings.

One is the strange and recurring theme of nutmegs. A precious spice from far-flung islands and already in demand, its high cost is increasing daily since the rumour has spread that it is a cure for the plague...

Gabriel finds himself caught in a deadly rivalry involving a greater prize and more ruthless players than he could have imagined. Fighting to protect his family and friends from dangerous involvement in this savage race, will he be able to emerge alive?

Too much repetition

Although I liked the other stories I feel this was too repetitive and too much rumination on the part of Gabe. I began to dislike his self-absorbed character. The narrator is clear and varies his tone and accents but at times I felt I was being lectured to.
Perhaps the characters and story had run their course.
