A Deadly Bouquet: A Gardening Mystery by Janis Harrison

You don’t need to read the previous books to follow the plot in this book. A very quick read and the development of the characters and backstories allow the reader to feel comfortable not reading other books in the series.

If I had read the reviews on here before checking it out from the library it would’ve never come home with me.

I was excited ending chapter 1 because the writing is chaotic and I thought that would keep me enticed. But trust the reviews because you’ll have no idea when you’re switching between the 3 characters. Apparently this book is a think piece on capitalism in America but I thought it was about random people in a town with deer killing people for some reason [the reason is a mystery plant].

Unfortunately, you should skip this read.

Absolute page turner! I didn’t know what to expect of a psychological thriller but this is exactly it. The characters’ lives feel realistic and the cause of the blackouts is unbelievable, nearly sci-fi. Erin, I hope to read more of your work!

If you have any history of sexual assault, violence, childhood assault, don’t read this book. There’s no explanation for why the cult exists or what the plot even is.

There was so much promise and the last 2 chapters felt like someone else wrote them. I’m still unsure what actually happened at the end but the girls aren’t ok.

I read most of the book on the bus from Hobart to Launceston after buying it at an indie bookstore in Hobart. Just the right amounts of new friends, family drama and supernatural mystery!
