The Wolfsbane Estate: A Declan Crowe & Ivy Sinclair Mystery

When a celebrated botanist is found dead inside the walled gardens of Ravenscroft Hall, a centuries-old estate famous for its rare and dangerous flora, investigator Declan Crowe and horticultural expert Ivy Sinclair are called in to make sense of a crime scene with no visible wound and no obvious weapon. As Declan works the case with a detective's instinct for motive and opportunity, Ivy turns her knowledge of toxic plants toward the estate's overgrown conservatory, where specimens collected across generations may hold the key to an undetectable poison. Between the household's guarded staff, a family fortune tied to the land, and a killer who understands the garden better than anyone alive, the two must race to identify a method of murder that leaves almost nothing behind. Part botanical puzzle and part estate mystery, this is a story about the secrets that grow quietly in old soil, and the people willing to cultivate them.
