Title: Disappointing
Review: This story starts out well with a mildly intriguing mystery and a promising setting. Sadly it falls into predicable patterns with the murderer so obvious I had to force myself to finish the novel. Orchids can be fascinating, but here they were used as a premise for mapping out events and their appearances began to read like directions. And to be honest, a few sentences were written so badly my jaw dropped. Skip it. Read Minette Walters, Tony Hillerman or Steig Larsson so you won't feel like you lost time you'll never get back.
