Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Garden of Madness
T. L. Higley · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
T.L. Higley takes King Nebuchadnezzar's madness from the Book of Daniel and builds a genuinely gripping palace mystery around it, with a faith journey at its heart that Publishers Weekly praised for its fine writing and real sense of suspense. It was a Romantic Times Top Pick for good reason — solid biblical research paired with a story that actually moves.
