3,5 stars rounding up.

Been looking forward to the next book in the series. The first one is still my favorite, in that one the three MCs all had their own arch.

In this one, Judith gets the most attention and Suzie feels a little neglected, almost like three MCs are too many characters to juggle.

All in all it felt a little lacking in passion maybe. A little color by numbers.

That said, I still enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the series. When reading the first book that was my first feeling, I want to watch this so fun to see it happening. Samantha Bond as Judith sounds perfect.

As a gardener I’m alway annoyed with how poisonous plants are being treated in murder mystery books. Poison plants are so common and most people have them, having wolfsbane is not a big deal and who the heck grows them under a cloche and have them blooming in spring, why? This is a pet peeve of mine.
