The Lost Gardens by Anthony Eglin
This cozy mystery follows Lawrence Kingston, a retired botany professor, and Jamie Gibson, who inherits a neglected estate in the Cotswolds. Along with the crumbling house comes a garden that has slipped out of time.
Paths are lost, borders have gone feral, and structures are buried beneath neglect. As restoration begins, secrets surface, including hidden buildings and evidence that the past is not finished speaking.
This is a mystery that understands gardens as record keepers. Not in ink, but in hedges, walls, and what
persists. It is gentle, intelligent, and deeply satisfying for gardeners.
