Praise for Garden of Secrets Past:
“Engaging… an intricate plot, colorful characters, and vivid descriptions of locales from London to small villages add up to an entertaining read.” –Publishers Weekly
"Lawrence Kingston [is] a bit of a garden-digging Hercule Poirot.... In Garden of Secrets Past, Eglin steps up the mystery several notches with the inclusion of even more shady characters, a secret code and a bit of a love interest for, no longer young, Kingston.... the mystery is top-notch." --welchwrite.com
"The master of botanical mysteries." --NewMysteryReader.com
"The fifth English Garden Mystery (see The Water Lily Cross and The Trial of the Wild Rose) is an entertaining whodunit as the past and the present converge during Kingston’s amateur sleuthing. The cast is solid in support of the protagonist who is at his best working the enigmatic murder case. The story line is fast-paced with a fascinating brief afterward explaining the code in further depth. Gardens of Secret Past is wonderful mystery as events two centuries old still remain relevant." --followtheclue.wordpress.com
"A charming English mystery that is well-written and entertaining. RECOMMENDED." --www.iloveamysterynewsletter.com
"The combination of gardening with mystery thrown in is a nice change of scenery and will appeal even to those who don’t have a green thumb." --British Weekly
Praise for The Lost Gardens:
“His is a talent in full bloom.” --Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Lawrence Kingston once again mixes horticulture with crime solving in Eglin’s agreeable second cozy to feature the retired botany professor...it’s the plethora of gardening detail that makes this a memorable read.” --Publishers Weekly
“The primary appeal of the Kingston series is its detailed treatment of a subject dear to the hearts of many cozy fans: English gardens.” --Booklist
Praise for The Blue Rose:
“The Blue Rose is one of those amiable mysteries that seek to mildly educate as well as to entertain: Here readers learn something about the history of roses while watching the hero and heroine dodge bullets and pruning shears.” --The Washington Post
“In his excellent debut, Eglin combines just the right amount of horticultural detail with well-drawn characters and absorbing plot.” --
