*The Garden of Darkness* by Gillian Murray Kendall is a haunting and atmospheric novel that weaves together elements of mystery, magic, and historical fiction. The story follows a young woman named Abby, who becomes entangled in the dark secrets of a mysterious garden. Kendall's writing is evocative, drawing readers into a world where the lines between reality and the supernatural blur. The characters are richly developed, and the suspense builds slowly but steadily, creating an intense and immersive reading experience. While the pacing can be a bit slow at times, the book’s eerie mood and well-crafted tension make it a compelling read for fans of gothic fiction and those who enjoy stories with a supernatural twist.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. I tried to read this during the pandemic lock down when I was catching up with Netgalley... not a great time to read this one!

A well-written and enjoyable book, I am glad I requested this title and will be more than happy to pass the title along to my fellow library purchasers.
