The Butterfly Garden

The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison is the first book in The Collector Series. It tells the story of the Garden where a serial killer collects a number of girls, whose beauty he wishes to preserve forever, told from the perspective of his favourite butterfly and the team investigating his crimes...

The characters are well developed, without a diatribe of useless information being fed to us. Every detail of this story is carefully planned as the butterfly reveals to us the identities and stories of her fellow prisoners and captors as the story develops and danger increases.

I believe this to be the best book I have read in a very long time, and will be binging the rest of the 4 book series ASAP.
