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!
