The savage garden- Mark Mills

It was a book i took out of the library without knowing anything about the author or the story, and i was pleasantly surprised. Its a murder mystery with history. It was easy reading and the visualisation was great. Although the story tended towards the over dramatic at times, it was welcome breath of fresh air into my usually blood and gore filled choices. Set in Italy with a century old murder and a beautifull garden with a bloodthirsty beginning.

Well if you didnt understand what the heck i was talking about in the previous paragraph.....an italian guy murders his wife and builds a garden in her memory with clues to the murder. cool plot aint it..thats not all, his descendants also have some blood on their hands, plus there is a mysterious grandma and the beautifull scarred woman. all of this is solved and romanced by an english student. And it has a happy ending!
