A Botanist's Guide to Rituals and Revenge: A Saffron Everleigh Mystery

Saffron Everleigh returns to Ellington Manor after her grandfather suffers a heart attack in this fourth book in the Saffron Everleigh mystery series. Back in her childhood home for the first time in years, she finds herself navigating tense family relationships complicated by the arrival of Bill Wyatt, hired as a doctor to the ailing Lord Easting. Saffron soon discovers that Wyatt is not a doctor at all, but a mysterious figure involved in trafficking dangerous government secrets. When the Hales invite a spiritual medium into the village, Saffron realizes there is more happening in her hometown than she initially understood. Her decision to invite Alexander to Ellington also places their budding relationship under her family's scrutiny. As tensions escalate, Bill demands that Saffron surrender old research documents belonging to her late father. With her relatives under his control as their supposed physician, Saffron fears she may be forced to hand over the files and lose any chance of understanding her father's obscure legacy. Nothing and no one at Ellington is as they appear, and Saffron must uncover the truth before it is too late.
