A review by mweis
A Botanist's Guide to Society and Secrets by Kate Khavari
4.0
*I received an audio review copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
This is such a solid historical mystery series in my opinion. In this third installment, Khavari pulls in more political implications of London 1923 to make the book almost spy thriller adjacent. Saffron is pulled into a murder investigation where Ashton's brother is under suspicion for the murder of a scientist that worked in a government lab.
The mystery was interesting, but as is typical for me in longer historical mystery series, I am more interested in the character interactions. I love the tension between Saffron and Alexander and I liked seeing more of Elizabeth and her family.
Overall I found this to be a compelling story and as usual, I adore Jodie Harris's narration. I am also intrigued by the way this ended and where the story might be going in installment #4.
