A GLAMOROUS PERFUME LAUNCH WHICH REEKS OF NOTHING BUT DEATH…
London, Midsummer, 1925
London is in bloom and the sun is shining. But trouble is lurking around the corner…
Posie Parker , London’s premier female Private Detective, has been summoned to Chelsea, to the House of Sinne, the fashionable London perfume house.
Anouk Sinne, the most brilliant perfumier of her age, has been receiving blackmail demands, and asks Posie to investigate, but is blackmail just the tip of the iceberg?
A launch party for the House of Sinne’s highly-anticipated new fragrance is just about to take place, and Posie finds herself rubbing shoulders with some very famous people, but after the ‘reveal’ of the strangest perfume Posie has ever experienced, things take a chilling turn for the worse…
When Anouk Sinne herself is found murdered in her own garden, Posie must investigate, and quickly. And what she uncovers are secrets everywhere, and motives galore.
And when the killer ingeniously kills for a second time, Posie realises that nothing at the House of Sinne is quite what is seems, and that, like perfume, glamour and fame are sometimes fake and always ephemeral.
Does the motive for these murders lie in the garden in Chelsea, or rather in the shadows and heartaches of the past?
