Description
In the heat of the desert, Detective Cody Oliver makes an alarming and inadvertent discovery – a strange garden, adorned with various exotic flowers, is a showy cover for the scores of bodies buried below. Soon, the small town of Mt. Dessicate plunges into chaos as journalists, reporters, and cameramen from across the nation clamor to get a piece of the action.
Along with the media, a mysterious woman appears who may be the only person who has come face to face with the killer, known as the Botanist. If Detective Cody can’t piece together the crime scene, decipher how the woman’s mysterious past is connected to the killer, and bring the Botanist to justice, he may lose the people he values most.
Linda Winger –
Imagine being stalked by someone. Now imagine being stalked by a serial killer. What would you do if you were taken by a serial killer, escaped from them only to be caught again? This is what happened to Alex. She had dreams that felt so real they were more like nightmares.
I liked the strength Alex showed in this story. She wasn’t just a female that screamed every time something happened to her. She fought and thought her way out of situations. It’s human nature to want to see evil defeated and the good people win their battles against evil.
Although I would have liked more depth to the characters like the killer and some of the people in his past, the story was enjoyable.

This review is based on an audiobook.
Brilliant read, keeps you guessing all the way through. It’s got everything, fun, laughter, emotion, love and murder. A very talented writer.
The narrator does an exceptional job, I like his easily recognisable character voice changes. He has a nice clear voice and adds life to the story.
This is a must read/listen to book.
