Bella Donna by Jill Johnson

Bella Donna by Jill Johnson

Professor Eustacia Rose is trying to get her old life back. But as always, things get more complicated when poisonous plants - and people - start to disappear . . .

'Professor Eustacia Rose, genius botanical toxicologist, eccentric loner, instinctive detective and all-round mystery - a splendid creation' -- Praise for Devil's Breath * M. J. CARTER, author of the Blake and Avery Mystery novels *
'With Eustacia Rose, Jill has created an utterly unique character and has ensured that the detective genre turns a new leaf. Mystery, murder, and mulch. What's not to love.' -- Praise for Devil's Breath * Adil Ray OBE *
'Sherlock Holmes meets Gardeners' Question Time' -- Praise for Devil's Breath * Nish Kumar on BBC2's Between the Covers *
'I absolutely tore through it! Eustacia is a delightful sleuth and, as a fellow plant lover, I adored the way the mystery was revealed as we learnt more about the poisonous plants in her collection. Who knew there were so many ways to die in a garden? Overall, it's a charming, quirky and compulsive read and I look forward to many more adventures with the professor.' * Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austin Investigates *
'Another intriguing case for Eustacia in this quirky and charming series. Bella Donna is original and engrossing - a must-read for lovers of horticulture and crime fiction.' * Jane Bettany, author of the Violet Brewster novels and DI Isabel Blood novels *
