Perry continues to work his magic with Jane Whitfield. There were scenes of places I have been and his descriptions are right on. The story line stays true to character and he has yet to disrespect the culture.

High expectations
Maybe I had my expectations too high for Thomas Perry. I was [really] waiting for his new book. Every book so far was new, interesting and the "I don't want to put it down before I finish reading it" kind. Maybe that is why Poison flower was a bit disappointing for me. I saw the same plot structure with a little slower flow and some "fill in" sections. Jane Whitefield is an interesting and very enterprising heroine with skills that outdo her enemies and that is the soul of these series. It seemed like she lost her pace in Poison flower and that's out of character.
Al in all not a bad book but, after reading all the other Perry books, a little bit on the tepid side.
I'm still a big fan of Perry and I am convinced he has a lot more to offer. I'm looking forward to his new books.
