A review by barbarahowe
The Apothecary Rose by Candace Robb

2.0

More of a medieval romance than a mystery, and the romance didn't work for me. As for the mystery, we know who did it, the only question is why, and the answer seemed more bizarre than compelling. The writing isn't bad, but is a bit plodding, and none of the characters ever quite came alive; even at the climax I never felt caught up in it.
