“A sizzling Southern tale of murder.” ~ Altered Instincts
Summer in South Carolina – a time of ripe peaches, crackling bonfires, trips to the lake, and the rural legend of a creature known as the Lizard Man.
This year, a very real monster is lurking about.
The victims all have one thing in common – they share their names with plants.
Soon it becomes apparent that seventeen-year-olds Dusty Miller and Nandina Bush may be next on the killer’s list.
From Bookbub: “In South Carolina, children swap stories of a monstrous urban legend to liven up a sleepy summer – not realizing a very real predator lurks nearby. When 17-year-old Dusty Miller is marked as a target, he’ll need to untangle kids’ tales from true dangers in the rich Southern mystery.”more
I liked then story but found it a little hard to follow by the author going back in time and not knowing where he was with the time line.
Well written, would recommend.
This was an interesting book to read. I didn’t expect the ending.
Definately not what I was expecting!! This book held my interest and took some crazy turns. A very easy read and hard to put down. I look forward to reading more from this author.
It was an interesting take on a serial killer.
A great mystery, lots of twists and turns. Couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
It was ok
Wasn’t the ending I expected. Surprise!
Seemed contrived, didn’t finish reading it
Not much
Original concept in murder mystery with interesting characters and scenic descriptions. I really enjoyed the setting and the story.
Horticulture and Homicide
PERENNIALS uses greenhouses as vehicles for growth, change, history, and murder. I loved its intriguing mix of first person and third to tell the story. An enjoyable mystery with plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.
Great read.
Didn’t like ending
Had a problem keeping some characters separate but I did enjoy it.
A bit confusing at times. Many characters.
Not just your average mystery. Interesting characters and a twisted plot that keeps you guessing until the very last.
I truly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it.
It was ok. The ending left me feeling, flat. Not my favorite read
Really didn’t enjoy this book; thought it was kind of dumb.
