Three weeks. No complications.The estate's owner, Lucien Mór, gives her full access to everything she needs. Except the locked greenhouse at the garden's centre. He asks her, very politely, not to go in. His hands are too clean for a man who works the land. His books are worn from decades she can't account for. His plants grow in January as though the season arranged itself for their convenience.Every clue in the case points toward that door.So does everything she's starting to feel about the man who put it there.Death Under Glass is a gothic mystery wrapped around a dark fairy tale romance — Bluebeard retold through the lens of forensic science, in a village that has learned to look at the wrong things for a very long time.
