Average rating3.9
En una antigua iglesia ha aparecido una joven con el cuello cercenado y el cuerpo rodeado de hermosas flores. Un retorcido ritual de violencia, belleza y castidad que el asesino cumple cada invierno con escalofriante puntualidad. La hermana de Priya fue una de esas víctimas y, desde entonces, ella y su madre viven condenadas a cambiar de ciudad constantemente: cuando se mudan a un nuevo lugar con la esperanza de poder empezar de cero, la llegada de un misterioso arreglo floral aparece como un mal presagio, recordándoles que la muerte las acecha y que Priya podría ser la siguiente víctima. Tras resolver el caso de El Jardín de las Mariposas, los detectives del FBI saben que deben emprender una desesperada carrera contra reloj para descubrir al asesino antes de que sea demasiado tarde y, aunque en ello Priya arriesgue su propia vida, es la única oportunidad para conseguirlo.

I've never been so disappointed in a book. I LOVED The Butterfly Garden because it was unique, thrilling, and absolutely fucked up. But Roses of May is just like every other detective novel that I was trying to avoid. SNOOOOZE. The characters aren't likeable or relatable, the plot is predictable, the climax is boring, and the string connected the The Butterfly Garden is as thin as can be.
The first book is still one of my favorite books of the 2010s, but Roses of May was simply awful. I started The Summer Children with hopes it will be better, but so far looking like more of the same lame cliches and boring plot lines. Dot should really have quit while ahead.
This is just as good as the first!!! I loved the new characters! Gio is a trip. He's totally laugh out loud funny. I really love where this series is headed. It's all very ominous and that's fantastic. I wish Lilith was in the story more along with Theresa! Theresa is awesome!!!! She's the best part of this book and she's not even in it very long. I would love to see Gio and Theresa make a reappearance in this series.
I bought my copy from Robot Trading Co. and it's full of glaring errors. I hope they get fixed soon for future buyers.
Awestruck
Dot Hutchison is gifted with incredible talent, that she uses to get you into the minds of killers and survivors. I have learned so much in these 2 books and am enamored with the characters she creates.
