When a sharp-tongued garden curator is found dead among a collection of deadly plants, the peaceful charm of this small-town oasis begins to unravel. Eleanor Thorne, the head gardener, knows something isn’t right. The method of murder required expert botanical knowledge—and only a handful of people in the garden possess it.
As Eleanor digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of rivalries, hidden agendas, and long-buried secrets rooted deep within the garden’s past. From poisonous herbs to whispered threats, every clue leads closer to a truth more dangerous than anyone expected.
But in a place where knowledge is power—and plants can kill—trust may be the deadliest risk of all.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with strong female sleuths, charming small-town settings, and clever twists, The Poisonous Garden blends botanical intrigue with a satisfying, page-turning mystery.
