    Kate Khavari

She lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a fresh and fun romp that accurately portrays academia. The cozy her-story mystery series is a great read with well-developed characters and a good narrator. While some readers found the story simple and the dialogue and characters lacking depth, others enjoyed the botanist perspective and the absence of profanity. Overall, it is a cute mystery that could have had more of a love story, but still a good read.

      A fun and interesting mystery with light romance and STEMinist themes. I’ll listen to the next in the series.
    • 5/5
      Really enjoyed this story. It was playful even while trying to figure out who was the poisoner. I enjoyed the era-specific clothing and gender norms represented here too.
    • 5/5
      Well researched, well acted, well written. A fun read that is sure to entertain

      I absolutely loved this. It kept my attention, wasn’t too scandalous and the narrator had the most pleasing voice.

      It took me a little bit to get into this story, but once I began to fully understand all the characters the story was a cute mistery, i wish there was more of a love story but over all a good read.

      This was such a fun read! I typically do not read historical mystery, but I'm glad I gave this one a shot because of book club!

      Where to start -- I enjoyed the botanist prospective storyline: it was something new to me. I came to the realization that I don't enjoy this time period (London 1923). The story is simple, the dialogue is simple, the characters are simple. Argh. Basically 300 pages of nothing.

      I had a difficult time understanding clearly the narration. She had the Eng!ish dialect, troublesome for me sometimes, and there were a few times the audio (whisper) was too low to hear. I

      I will give kudos to the author and publisher, and all others making decisions for no profanity. For that I would gift this book in either format (physical or audio).

      This is okay for someone else. Sadly, it was a chore that will leave a sour taste when I hear about it or see the beautiful cover.

      Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for accepting my request to read and review A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Potions.
