The Woman in the Garden

This book was so strange! It was really not what I was expecting at all!

It was one heck of a mystery!! Professor Rose is an enigma for half the book. You literally don't know much about them and even their gender seems arbituary for the first part of the book so it was like a mystery within a mystery and you don't even realize until its revealed that you were kept in the dark.

I love books about poisonous plants and Professor Rose gives a very dry and academic run down through the book of what is what and I loved it! I felt like I was learning something! They are pulled into a plot after watching from their neighbors from their rooftop garden and it was the most unique storytelling I have ever encountered.

I highly recommend this one if you are looking for something different!
