Murder at the Royal Botanic Gardens

I struggle to rate this series because, while I enjoy it, I am not a fan of the writing itself so I find myself torn. The history, plots, and characters I love. The words I read on the page? Meh.

The text tends to be redundant, with some exceptions grades and concepts being repeated over and over ad nauseum, like Latin phrases (see what I did there?), the power of love and friendship, and the war between logic and intuition. Sometimes different characters think the exact same thing in almost the exact same wording, which seems odd. They can't all have the same perspective and it would be nice to have some disagreement.

Nonetheless, I rated this one four stars because, of all the ones I've read in this series, this one felt like the best. Still, I only pick this series up when I am looking for an easy read to pick up next.
