Seeds of Malice by Dale Mayer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Botanist Fern Geller was charged with a murder she didn't commit, betrayed by a lover and shunned by all of her friends. So after being acquitted she ran from her past to continue to learn everything she can about poisonous plants doing a six-month contract at the Garden of Death. When she returns to the same conservatory she worked at before, the new boss is missing and several other men are dead so of course, she is put firmly back into the crosshairs. London Behring is an FBI agent and seeing Fern again he has no idea why and how she had ever been made a murder suspect. But then he also is wondering how she was acquitted of all of the charges too. There is also a mystery as to why she has come back to the scene of the crime at the perfect time to become a murder suspect again as well as how he can stay free of her charms as he is finding her impossible to exist.

This was a great story that had all the necessary elements in vast quantities - murders, mystery, drama, danger, a love story and underpinning much of it was psychic skills and abilities involving some of the main characters of this series. I loved the relationship between Fern and London and the way that their relationship built and developed. The mystery and the murders were a multi-levelled and complicated story that took some careful unpicking to work out and resolve. Well written and easy to read/understand, I loved the story and definitely ignored parts of real life so I could read more of this and find out who was behind the various murders. Contains a little sexual content.
