This is an interesting story with well defined characters.  I learned about plants and their qualities and even though I enjoy gardening this was informative for me.Peggy is a strong lead character.  She is an expert on poisonous plants.  She teaches and she is asked to be an expert for police.  There is a serial killer who is poisoning people by injecting them with distilled poisons from plants.I am sure it was because I had not read earlier books in this series, I found it difficult to understand Peggy's actions.  Her new husband and her son are both very concerned about her safety, and she refuses to even consider their feelings.  I think in earlier stories the discussions may have already been completed.  But, for this reader, I would have liked to have had a little more background to understand her adamant decision to ignore her loved ones.The mystery was interesting, but I did get the murderer before the big reveal.I will look for another book in the series.  I think the writing is quite well done and the characters are people who hold my interest.The expertise about plants is so fascinating, that alone would bring me back.
