Using her newfound scent-triggered psychic abilities, Nora Black must catch a clever killer before her best friend Gilly goes down for first-degree murder.
My name is Nora Black, and I'm fifty-one-years young. At least that's what I tell myself, when I'm not having hot flashes, my knees don't hurt, and I can find my reading glasses.
I’m also the proud owner of a salon called Scents & Scentsability in the small resort town of Garden Cove, where I make a cozy living selling handmade bath and beauty products. All in all, my life's pretty good.
Except for one little glitch...
Since my recent hysterectomy, where I died on the operating table, I’ve been experiencing what some might call paranormal activity. No, I don’t see dead people, but quite suddenly I’m triggered by scents that, in their wake, leave behind vividly intense memories. Sometimes they’re unfocused and hazy, but there’s no doubt, they are very, very real.
Know what else? They’re not my memories.
It seems I've lost a uterus and gained a psychic gift.
When my best friend Gilly’s abusive boyfriend's murdered corpse is found after a fire, she becomes the prime suspect. And I become the babysitter to her two teenagers while she's locked up in the clink.
This whole situation stinks. And the only way to save my best friend is to figure out how to use my new scent ability to sniff out the real killer ... before the killer finds me.
