BaNQ’s Gardening Book Of The Month: February 2025

Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ)’s monthly gardening e-book suggestion.

Murder Most Florid

Inside the Mind of a Forensic Botanist 

par Mark A. Spencer

Once a curator at the National History Museum in London, Dr Mark Spencer’s career took an unexpected turn when he received a phone call from a criminal investigator. In this fascinating book, he shines a spotlight on a job we rarely hear about: forensic botanist. He shares not only his experiences at crime scenes but also his vast knowledge of plants. This is a great read for anyone fascinated by the world of forensics.
