Book Review: The Blackthorn Key

When a series of gruesome murders targeting apothecaries brings danger close to home, Christopher Rowe must find out who is behind them by solving the codes, or else he’ll be the next one to end up dead.

The book is fast paced with danger lurking around every corner. You really can’t put it down and want to know how Christopher Rowe will make it out of every dangerous situation he faces.

The characters of the book are likeable and make you want to root for their success. All of the references to apothecary work are also very interesting, learning what mixing different substances can do. Christopher uses his apothecary knowledge to overcome every situation, and the rate of success is realistic (so, it doesn’t always work and he does have to face the dangerous consequences when it doesn’t). This realism in the work is what makes it all the more exciting and tense, as the situation could really go either way.

There isn’t much more that can be said without giving parts of the mystery away, but it is a must-read for any fans of mysteries!
