Brilliant botanist Saffron Everleigh is ready for her next thrilling adventure in the newest installment of Kate Khavari's mesmerizing historical mystery series.
"A cleverly plotted puzzle" (Ashley Weaver) in the vein of Opium and Absinthe, this is perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Sujata Massey.
London, 1923. Returning from Paris, botanical researcher Saffron Everleigh finds that her former love interest Alexander Ashton's brother, Adrian, is being investigated for murder. A Russian scientist working for the English government has been poisoned, and expired in Adrian's train compartment. Alexander asks Saffron to put in a good word for Adrian with Inspector Green. Despite her unresolved feelings for Alexander, Saffron begins to unravel mysteries surrounding the dead scientist.
As if a murder case weren't enough, her best friend Elizabeth's war-hero brother, Nick, arrives in town and takes an immediate interest in Saffron. Saffron learns Alexander has been keeping secrets from her, including a connection to Nick, who Saffron and Elizabeth begin to suspect is more than he seems.
When another scientist is found dead, Saffron agrees to go undercover at the government laboratory. Risking her career and her safety, she learns there are many more interested parties and dangerous secrets to uncover than she'd realized. But some secrets, Saffron will find, are better left undiscovered.

Saffron Everleigh is an amicable and clever character, bright and eager to help. She holds her ground among her fellow male workers at the university. She’s drawn to mysteries like an insect to the light. Saffron always seems to put herself in danger, no matter the outcome. There never seems to be an easy way for her. This time with another mystery she wants to solve, started by her fellow workmate and amour Alexander Ashton. Saffron can’t deny the inquiry and puts her investigative skills into high gear.
Set in London around 1923, Saffron is constantly confronted with being seen as inferior to the male workers at the university. I admire her strength to take a position and improve her knowledge as a botanical researcher. Finding the truth in an unsolved case only encourages her to discover her boundaries and beyond.
I found the story gripping, the cliffhanger at the end came unexpectedly, and with the case solved I didn’t mind. With this end, the reader can expect a sequel in the future. Which I look forward to with great expectation.
