Things really go to seed in the newest novel in the New York Times
bestselling Book Retreat mysteries...
There is a hidden garden bordering the grounds of Jane Steward’s book-themed
resort—a garden filled with beautiful but deadly plants such as mandrake and
nightshade. Tucked away behind ivy-covered walls and accessible only through
a single locked door, as described in the pages of Frances Hodges Burnett's
classic novel, the garden is of special interest to Jane’s current group of
guests, The Medieval Herbalists. But when one of them turns up dead, Jane
must discover whether a member of the group has come to Storyton Hall to
celebrate their passion for plant lore or to implement a particularly cruel
means for murder.
With thousands of books at her disposal, Jane believes she has the proper
materials to solve this deadly problem. If she’s wrong, however, she may lose
something far more precious than the contents of Storyton’s secret library...
