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. <br><br>Through her telescope, Professor Rose is drawn into the life of an extraordinarily beautiful neighbour, <b>Simone</b>, and nicknames the men who visit her after poisonous plants according to the <b>toxic effect</b> they have on Simone. But who are these four men? And why does Eustacia Rose recognise one of them? <br><br>Just as she preserves her secret garden, she feels inexplicably compelled to protect her neighbour, but <b>Eustacia soon finds herself entangled in a far more complicated web than she could ever have imagined</b>. 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. <br><br>After all, no one knows toxic plants like she does . . .<br><br><br><br><b>'FASCINATING AND EERILY COMPELLING.'
