I answered a number of the questions above with "N/A" because the book did not grab my attention the way others have; I'd listen to a couple of sentences but then would find that my mind had completely wandered. The ratings are more geared towards my experience with the book and not of the book itself.

At a dinner party for University College of London staff, someone is poisoned. Newly hired research assistant, Saffron, puts on her detective cap to prove her mentor’s innocence. Alexander Ashton, another one of the scientists, gets pulled into her investigation and flirting starts up between the two of them. Can they figure out who actually poisoned the guest before a large group of the suspects get on a boat for their research trip to the Amazon? Or will Alexander have to set sail with a would-be murderer? I love a smart and flirty whodunit.
