Goldenacre is a gritty murder mystery focusing on Edinburgh's art world. It's twisty and sharp, with a steady pace from beginning to end, exposing treachery and deception. It features a whole host of unsavoury, ruthless characters motivated by wealth and desire. I could sense the passion driving both investigators, art expert Thomas Tallis and newspaper reporter Shona Sandison, as they linked the history of a legendary painting with a series of brutal murders. I could also sense the author's passion for Edinburgh as he brought the city to life with his vivid sense of place. I love learning something from the novels I read. Goldenacre is peppered with references to some famous artists and their works, and I found myself Googling several of them while I was reading. Some real life events are also mentioned, giving the book its contemporary feel. This book is a gripping exploration of the darker side of modern society.

Trained by his father, a market gardener, Philip Miller (1691-1771) rose to become Britain's most eminent horticulturalist in the eighteenth century. Following a period as a nurseryman in Southwark, he was appointed the head gardener of the Chelsea Physic Garden by the Society of Apothecaries in 1722, upon the recommendation of Sir Hans Sloane. Under Miller's supervision, the diversity of plants at Chelsea outstripped that of all other European botanic gardens. His talent was equally reflected in his writings. Miller's most famous work, The Gardener's Dictionary, ran to eight editions during his lifetime, as did his celebrated abridgement, reissued here in its 1771 sixth edition. Ranging widely in coverage from agriculture to winemaking, as well as incorporating traditional gardening topics, the work reflects the progress of contemporary plant science and the breadth of knowledge acquired by one of its foremost practitioners.
