The Woman in the Garden
by Jill Johnson
The Women in the Garden got off to a slow start but eventually picked up speed. By the end, I was a fan.
Professor Eustacia Rose has a garden of poisonous plants. She’s also infatuated with her neighbor whom she is spying on. When a series of disturbing events occur, her life is thrown into a tailspin. First her garden is vandalized and poisonous plants are stolen. Then she sees the neighbor abducted by a man on the street. When a man Eustacia used to know is murdered by poison, Eustacia finds herself as the prime suspect.
I found the beginning of this book uneventful and hard to get into. The book eventually took a gratifying turn and held my interest from that point on. I enjoyed the mystery and twists. The main character grew on me and I felt my annoyance with her disappear. I would definitely read the next book in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press and the author, Jill Johnson, for this DRC in exchange for my honest review.
