Another intelligently plotted and brilliantly conceived thriller from one of my favourite crime / thriller authors, M.W. Craven. The standout for me in Craven’s books is the storytelling and the way Craven ramps up the tension, thrill, and anticipation, and maintains this to the last word. The layers he builds into the story are meticulously planned, the details and unveiling of evidence and insights into people is forensically plotted, and the characters he has created are likeable and perfec

Every time I finish a Washington Poe novel, I want to say that it's the best book in the series so far but really M.W. Craven sets the bar so consistently high, I'm bowled over by every instalment. It's for that reason I always recommend reading the whole series even though each can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. There is nothing to prevent you from picking up fifth book, The Botanist without having read any of the previous novels but the recurring characters are so affectionately brought to life,

I love this series, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get round to reading The Botanist

I love this series, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get round to reading The Botanist. I won’t be making that mistake with the next book. Once again M.W. Craven delivers the goods and he has come up with another action-packed ride for Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw. Washington Poe is handed an extremely interesting case, following the murder of Kane Hunt, a person with extreme views, on live national television. The person, who is behind the murder, is subsequently known

Loved loved this book and the characters that M W Craven has invented ! Thank you for on the edge kind of book

Loved loved this book and the characters that M W Craven has invented ! Thank you for on the edge kind of book. I recommend this book a hundred percent.

What can I say? Just when you think the series cannot get any better, along comes The Botanist

What can I say? Just when you think the series cannot get any better, along comes The Botanist. Probably Poe's most infuriating and perplexing case to date and, for us readers, one of the most fun. Double trouble for Poe and Bradshaw as they are faced with not just one but two locked room mysteries. After a fashion. One sees one of Poe's people in jeopardy, the other a whole range of 'people you'd like to slap with a brick' targeted by a very cunning poisoner, dubbed by the media as the eponymou

This is yet another fantastic book in the Washington Poe series, to be honest though, I wouldn't expect anything less

This is yet another fantastic book in the Washington Poe series, to be honest though, I wouldn't expect anything less. These books can be read as standalone's, but to get a real sense of the working relationship between Poe, Tilly, Doyle and Flynn you really need to have started this from the beginning. And because they are also great books. This starts from an odd place and is very far from Cumbria. The author gives a quick prologue before returning back to what is the start of the case. In fa

I read the first book and quickly became addicted to the characters. Lots of detailed and varied plots in the series and no unnecessary wordage or descriptions to beef them out. Looking forward to the next one.

Again impossible to put the book down so sorry I've finished it because I'll have to wait so long for the next one!

Right when you think it doesn’t get any better Craven delivers one heck of a story that is even better than the last

Right when you think it doesn’t get any better Craven delivers one heck of a story that is even better than the last. He’s so good even that I have to admit I enjoyed reading the Acknowledgements more than usual :-). I’m not sure how he does it every time but once again it was a read to devour. You don’t have to take my word alone for it but look at the 236 reviews that resulted in a 4.67 out of 5 rating on Goodreads; The Botanist was a brilliant read with not one but two ‘impossible
