Summary:
In this series finale, pathologist Dr. Lily Robinson races around the globe to hunt an assassin who, like her, finds poison the weapon of choice.
A world-renowned climatologist is found dead off the Great Barrier Reef of northern Australia weeks before he’s set to deliver his earth-shattering findings at the international Climate Council conference. Was it greed to maintain the status quo of fossil fuels—or revolutionary new science—that motivated his murder? Can Lily Robinson stop the killer before another climate scientist dies?
With operative and lover JP Marchand at her side, Lily uncovers a cunning plot that endangers world order, and changes the trajectory of her life—forever.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Partners in Crime Tours, Encircle Publications and BJ Magnani for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So I was completely drawn in by this blurb, it gave me Bones vibes with the promise of a bones/booth-style relationship which I loved so I was ready to dive in. I think I found it difficult to connect with our MC Lily, She is quite clinical and the way she describes things reads as quite emotionless, even in situations where she is feeling very strong emotions. I don't know if that was a character choice by the author or if its just the writing style because I found the writing style to be quite clinical, the sex scene between JP and Lily is especially clinical to read, which makes it feel like their relationship is a transaction rather than two people in love.
I don't know if maybe reading the rest of the books in the series might have given me a better understanding of their dynamic or have seen it in a different way. But this was my first book in the series and I definitely believe it works as a stand-alone because you get all the information you require to kick off with the book but I think in this case this is a series that is just not for me. But I did love the Lily had a Poison Garden, as a keen gardener the whole idea of a poison garden fascinates me.
I'm short this wasn't a book for me and I'm unlikely to read the rest of the series but I would try a different series by this author to see if I like her style with a different set of characters.
