Plant Lady
by Kang Minyoung
In the heart of a quiet town, a young woman tends to her plant shop, but beneath the surface of her green sanctuary lies something far darker. Will you dare to disrespect her plants?
Librarian Veronica isn't normally a suspense reader, but she loved this cozy horror/thriller that intersperses lush descriptions of plants and the everyday routine of a garden shop with the bleak reality of misogynistic violence experienced by women in South Korea... and the titular Plant Lady's exploits as she methodically evens the scales.
