London, 1923. Returning from Paris, botanical researcher Saffron Everleigh finds that her former love interest Alexander Ashton’s brother, Adrian, is being investigated for murder. Alexander asks Saffron to put in a good word for Adrian with Inspector Green. Despite her unresolved feelings for Alexander, Saffron begins investigating. When another murder occurs, Saffron agrees to go undercover at the government laboratory. Risking her career and her safety, she learns there are many secrets to uncover. But some secrets, Saffron will find, are better left undiscovered.I hoped to like this historical mystery more than I did. I like the main characters, but the plot needs more action. It seemed to drag, and I became bored and put down the book. I want to thank Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
