This instalment transplants Celia Grant from her familiar English surrounds to the lush landscapes of New Zealand, where a botanical expedition quickly unravels into something far more sinister than rare plant specimens. Sherwood masterfully weaves horticultural expertise with deft detective work, crafting a whodunit that is both intellectually engaging and warmly witty. The novel presents a refreshing blend of travelogue and thriller, illustrating that the most dangerous rarities are not always found in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888017420507,"sku":"2026100006658-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b54c201d-a168-4e5e-a6b3-7104ea56c2eb.png?v=1781752965","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006658-secondhand-a-botanist-at-bay","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
