Stella Wright loves creating candles at her Nantucket store—and she also has a burning passion for justice. Now, after visiting a perfume conference, she must solve a vial crime . . .
Stella and her globe-trotting mom, Millie, have come home from a perfume industry conference in Paris, where their trip was marred by witnessing the stabbing death of a young man. It’s a relief for Stella to be back on her picturesque island, with the comforting company of her cat, Tinker. But lingering danger may have followed them back across the ocean.
After someone breaks into her candle store, the Wick & Flame, Stella starts feeling spooked. And just as things threaten to ignite, Millie suffers a blow to the head. Stella receives an anonymous note claiming that her mother smuggled a secret formula out of France—and threatening her life if it isn’t returned. Now Stella’s picked up the scent of a cold-hearted criminal and an intriguing puzzle, and things are about to get wicked . . .
A wonderful second outing for Stella and Nantucket Island! With thrills and suspects aplenty this makes for a great read!
Stella has gone to join her mother Millie at a perfume conference (Millie is one of the final speakers), they have had a great time catching up and soaking up Parisian culture (and food!) but all good things must come to an end and the final day has come around, but neither Millie or Stella anticipate Millie not getting to make her speech when a man is murdered in the crowd of perfumers! They assume this will be the end of it, after all a death in Paris has nothing to do with Nantucket, only it appears it has – now Stella has to cope with a break in at the shop, Millie ending up in hospital and a threatening note, can she sniff out the killer or have they masked their scent completely?
