When American woman Jamie find herself inheriting a neglected English estate, she calls in Lawrence Kingston, retired botany professor and amateur detective, to help restore the gardens to their former glory.
When an old chapel is discovered, complete with skeleton, Kinston started investigating, turning up a mystery decades old.
An easy story to read, I was expecting a fair bit of technical explanation about plants and gardens, but it seemed that Kingston knows about everything, with the exception of viticulture, which Jamie spends several pages on.
The mystery itself was interesting, but the characters and tedious technical information wasn't. Anyone with an interest in gardening, viticulture, wine and timber joinery will enjoy this book much more than I did.
