Think you’ve got what it takes to get to the root of the crime, weed out the suspect and unearth the truth? In Murder at the Botanic Gardens there are murder mystery puzzles on every page to confound and delight gardening enthusiasts, puzzle aficionados, and armchair detectives alike. Set among the spectacular scenery of 12 of world’s most celebrated bonantic gardens from Kew to Sydney, via Paris and New York, each beautifully illustrated brainteaser plunges you into cases such as Murder at the Museum Fountain and The Case of the Deadly Glasshouse. As you explore these iconic landmarks, you’ll encounter a mix of map-based mysteries, logic problems and escape room-style enigmas, as well as bite-sized picture and word puzzles. Tackle the chapters one at a time or dip in at random, but beware: a final grand puzzle at the end of the book draws on clues and conundrums sown through each chapter…
