This is the second volume in a cozy series about sleuthing English botanist Celia Grant. I wasn’t particularly thrilled with the first entry in the series but I’m glad I decided to stick with it. This entry is set in New Zealand and features foolish lords, morally-challenged MPs, leftist terrorists, and endangered alpine flora. If you’re into plants the horticultural name-dropping will keep you googling. If this sounds like you’re thing, give some John Sherwood mysteries a shot. (
