4.5

The book follows Saffron and Alexander as they try to solve the mysterious poisoning of Mrs. Henry. Saffron is willing to do anything to prove Dr. Maxwells innocents that leads her into a lot of trouble. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the two main characters relationship and seeing the tension and romance grow.

I couldn’t put the book down and had a fun time trying to decipher the mystery myself. The reason I gave this book a 4.5 instead of 5 was because the ended was a little drab for my liking. Overall the book was well written, and very captivating, would highly recommend!

4.0

At a dinner party for University College of London staff, someone is poisoned. Newly hired research assistant, Saffron, puts on her detective cap to prove her mentor’s innocence. Alexander Ashton, another one of the scientists, gets pulled into her investigation and flirting starts up between the two of them. Can they figure out who actually poisoned the guest before a large group of the suspects get on a boat for their research trip to the Amazon? Or will Alexander have to set sail with a would-be murderer? I love a smart and flirty whodunit.
