Uncover the Truth, One Scent at a Time
When renowned food critic Jasper Montgomery drops dead after sampling clam chowder at a local diner, the charming coastal town of Candlewick Cove bubbles with suspicion. All eyes turn to grumpy diner owner Frank Wilkins as the prime suspect, but his friend Violet Scentwell—owner of the Scentsational candle shop—knows there's something fishy about this case that has nothing to do with the chowder.
Armed with her extraordinary sense of smell and knowledge of fragrances, Violet begins her own investigation, discovering that beneath Candlewick Cove's picturesque exterior lie hidden motives, old vendettas, and the distinctive scent of murder. As another food critic arrives in town and immediately falls victim to a similar attack, Violet realizes she's in a race against time to prevent another tragedy—and that the killer's signature might be hiding in plain smell.
In this delightful first installment of the Candlewick Cove Mystery series, Violet must navigate small-town politics, professional rivalries, and culinary deceptions to identify the poisoner before she becomes the next target. With help from her colorful circle of friends and the reluctant sheriff, she'll prove that sometimes the best detective tool isn't found in a police kit, but in the delicate art of fragrance crafting that reveals what others try desperately to mask.
book review
Easy read and lots of suspects. Great team of sleuths. Just one part confused me and it was someone's presence at the crime scene but just a little bit further into the story it said they just arrived that morning. Truly enjoyed this first book and would read another in the series.
