Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced copy of Garden of Secrets!
I enjoyed this story very much! It is told in3 perspectives, Laura in the "now" timeframe and Anya and Nikolai, Russian spies during WW2. Anya and Nikolai, at first strangers to each other, have their own reasons for joining the Russian secret service and reasons for wanting to leave Russia. They are sent to England to be spies for their own country which bonds them together for life.
Laura has her own modern day troubles with her relationship falling apart forcing her to get out of London and take a job restoring a country house's garden. Laura stumbles upon a buried secret which takes her on an investigative trip to find answers of what happened at this country home during WW2.
The story takes you back through time to figure out just what happened to Anya and Nikolai.
This book gave me Kate Morton vibes with the garden restoration project. I really liked Laura and thought her story could be a book of its own. It was interesting to view the war from a different perspective, not many books star Russian spies living in England! 4 star read!
