More About This Book

Overview

From custom blended oils to relaxing spa services, the store Venus Envy takes care of all the beauty needs of Gull Harbor, Washington. Behind the counter is Persia Vanderbilt, a woman with a nose for mixing scents—and a mind for solving murder.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The pseudonymous Ink's first bath and body mystery introduces an appealing, credible heroine. In the wake of a failed marriage, 31-year-old Persia Rose Vanderbilt returns home to scenic Gull Harbor, Wash., where she helps out at her independent aunt Florence's bath and beauty shop, Venus Envy. When a disgruntled customer, ill-tempered beauty queen Lydia Wang, is found bludgeoned to death in the shop, the evidence implicates a valued Venus Envy staff member. The smart and savvy Persia must track down the real killer while dealing with demands from her difficult ex-husband and the more welcome attentions of the local police chief. A second murder ups the ante, propelling the well-paced plot to a fitting climax. Under her real name, Yasmine Galenorn, the author writes the Chintz'n China mystery series (Murder Under a Mystic Moon, etc.). Agent, Meredith Bernstein. (Oct.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    Scent to her grave

    This book was good. It was a fast read. The character are original and the plot was good. It kept me in suspense until the end. I would recommend this series. The only problem is you have to order it on line. This series is not available at the barnes & noble store.

    clever, often humorous and definitely complex amateur sleuth

    Her live-in-lover, the ¿nice¿ Elliot, was arrested for embezzling and quickly turned state¿s evidence on his employers for money laundering. Persia Vanderbilt left to return home to Gull Harbor on Puget Sound¿s Port Samanish Island. There she works for the woman who raised her, her Aunt Florence, owner of Venus Envy, a business that creates custom blended oils and spa services. --- Lydia Wang, the winner of the Radiance Cosmetics Beauty Contest, asks Persia to make a special scent for her. While she is waiting, Lydia is nasty to the store¿s gardener, her ex-boyfriend Trevor Wilson. She also gets into a fight with the beauty contest runner up Colleen and Colleen¿s friend Debbie who has an inferiority complex. The next day when Persia opens the business, she finds Lydia¿s murdered body the police arrest Trevor because they found the murder weapon contained his prints. Neither Persia nor her aunt believes Trevor is guilty and Persia sets out to prove it, almost losing her life in the process. --- India Ink has written a clever, often humorous and definitely complex amateur sleuth mystery. The protagonist is a martial arts expert who is a very feminine, feisty and independent woman. The murder victim had many enemies due to her abrasive and cruel attitude so it is impossible for readers to figure out who killed her until the author chooses to reveal that person¿s identity. SCENT OF THE GRAVE is a very disciplined and unusual mystery, the start of what smells to be a winning series. --- Harriet Klausner
