Hugg tells a captivating story in a novel brimming with elegant prose and lurking menace, and Paris feels as alive as the unique plants that make this book such an original delight. Mark Pryor, author of the Hugo Marston mystery series Hugg, a certified horticulturist, displays her knowledge and skills with vivid descriptions of plants and cultivation. But her prose shines throughout, as she establishes an unsettling tone merely detailing the environment... Kirkus Review ...It's an engrossing novel, and the reader comes away breathless and possessing fresh knowledge of the plant world as well. Sidney Williams, author of Fool's Run Karen Hugg is the rare author who can blend wonder and suspense. -- Emily Carpenter, Author of Until the Day I Die, Every Single Secret and Burying the Honeysuckle Girls
