I've always been better with plants than people . . .
I now want my own garden of poisonous plants after finishing this book 🤣
The story follows Eustacia Rose, a professor of botanical toxicology, dismissed from her position at UCL. She now spends her days in her rooftop garden, studying her poisonous plants and watching her neighbours through her telescope.
She becomes intrigued by one of her neighbours, Simone, and the men she has in her life and starts documenting their comings and goings, (I loved that she gave them all nicknames after her poisonous plants!🤣)
She witnesses 'something' I don't want to give too many spoilers, and it causes her to leave her reclusive lifestyle to find answers....
I loved Roses character! She was eccentric and quirky, and a little awkward, and her development throughout the book was 🤌🏼
I loved all the twists and turns through the story, and the plot was so engaging, I couldn't put it down!
