ABNA REVIEWS OF THE OPENING CHAPTERS " This is so well-written! The storyline begins on a rather quiet note and then slowly builds up to the discovery of the baby's bones in the garden which of course makes the reader want to read on and discover what exactly is going on " "I loved everything about this excerpt - from the setting (the damp, rainy countryside, and let's not forget the potentially beautiful gardens), to the sense of loss woven throughout the excerpt, and then to the characters. There is almost a barely concealed anger to Owen, and if you enjoy mysteries that immediately sends up red flags. Fern seems almost meek by comparison, but then that is a very nice counterpoint to Owen's anger. And then there is the mystery of the baby found in the garden? One wonders how heavily that will play into the story. There is a wonderful sense of familiarity here as well, I instantly felt like I could know the characters, which made me invest in them right away. Excellent " Two 5 Star Reviews, Amazon.co.uk " I thought the background of gardening was interesting even though I am not a gardener myself. The way Fern is trying to live off the produce of her garden is also of interest. If you like your crime novels cosy with an unusual background then I would recommend this book and its predecessor, Death in the Physic Garden " 4 Star Review, Amazon.com " More gorgeous gardening from the talented and capable Fern Green. I fell in love with her in the previous book (Death in the Physic Garden), and this time around that love deepened. An enjoyable read... I look forward to another installment " |
