I've always been better with plants than people . . . Eustacia Rose
is a Professor of Botanical Toxicology who lives alone in London
with only her extensive collection of poisonous plants for company.
She tends to her garden with meticulous care. Her life is quiet.
Her schedule never changes. Until the day she hears a scream and
the temptation to investigate proves irresistible. Through her
telescope, Professor Rose is drawn into the life of an
extraordinarily beautiful neighbour, Simone, and nicknames the men
who visit her after poisonous plants according to the toxic effect
they have on Simone. But who are these four men? And why does
Eustacia Rose recognise one of them? Just as she preserves her
secret garden, she feels inexplicably compelled to protect her
neighbour, but Eustacia soon finds herself entangled in a far more
complicated web than she could ever have imagined. When her
precious garden is vandalised and someone close to Simone is
murdered with a toxin derived from a rare poisonous plant, Eustacia
becomes implicated in the crime. After all, no one knows toxic
plants like she does . . .
