A dark scientific thriller
Mr. Chaos's Gardener
In this psychological thriller, set in a quiet village forgotten by time, two brilliant men set out to master the art of dying. One, a reclusive immunologist named Mr. Chaos; the other, a young gardener with a genius for creation. Together, they perfect a science that is part botany, part genetics, and part miracle.
Years later, a relentless detective begins to investigate a string of cold-case disappearances, and the gardener is summoned for questioning. What follows is a mesmerizing testimony—a story of genius, compassion, and breathtaking hubris. It is a tale that challenges the very nature of truth, memory, and the strange, fertile ground that lies between euthanasia and empathy.
As the detective listens to this brilliant, unreliable narrator, he must decide if he is merely discovering a series of strange experiments, solving a crime, or falling victim to a master of deception. For in this quiet village, the only thing more dangerous than a secret is the man who offers to bury it forever.
Mr. Chaos's Gardener is a wicked funny quick read, I like how the whole mystery is played out and the chilling ending makes me laugh because the cleverness of it all really can bring a wicked smile to your face. Although I'm not sure if the nameless narrator is reliable or not, because throughout the story he makes it sound like he's the innocent one, but I don't quite believe him.

It was unexpected and different from any other book I've read so far. I liked it. The setting became grimmer and the events escalated pretty fast, so it made it hard for me to stop reading. The plot twist was definitely surprising and left me in shock for a while.

I read this book for school, and I thought it a pleasant read. The story is definitely what you'd consider odd, and yet, it still has a little bit of charm to it.
