A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons

I loved the title of this book, the plot, the setting, and the characters (I totally judged this book by its cover). But while I did enjoy reading this novel, I felt it had a lot more potential and that it didn't quite live up to it. Some loose threads here and there and an overall sense of dissatisfaction. Perhaps as this book is meant to be the first in a series, it left us readers with some bits to speculate upon.
