An interesting dive into the different ways gardening and plants have inspired different authors of mysteries. Discusses different books (and shares them at the end for ease of finding when you inevitably decide some of them sound like amazing reads themselves). I appreciated the concept, having not read something like this before. Marta does an excellent job infusing her own interests and humor into the information she is sharing. I read Sherlock Holmes as a child and have not delved too deeply into mysteries beyond cozy ones as an adult but this book is a great launch off point. My husband has been getting into gardening so this was a fun juxtaposition of both of our current interests and it was fun to share tidbits as I went along through the chapters.

I was sobbing through this entire book. Bravo!

I learned a lot

I really enjoyed this book. It tells the stories of black voices in the 50's. These events did happen and haven't been told. It makes you think of all forms of oppression.

Thumbs up!

I am not typically a psychological thriller reader, but this was recommended to me by a friend, and then, as I checked out, the librarian also commented on how good it was! This book did not disappoint. The book made me feel so many different emotions - sad, empathetic, angry, tense, anxious, hopeful, and scared. If you read it for nothing else, read it for the ending. It was jaw-dropping!

Book by a Native American.

I like the couch potato because he is so funny and very stubborn. Well you’re not always supposed to be comfortable I guess and that’s what he learned lessons are good to learn and that’s what you learn in the food books and even though you want to always be comfortable, it’s not always good to be comfortable. It’s true.

I like this book because they have fun. My favorite part is when unicorn is cold.

You will not think about parfaits in the same way again
