Fragrance of Forgotten Truths: A Serenity Falls Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
After losing her research job in the city, Anna Attar heads home to Serenity Falls with nothing but a suitcase and a plan: lay low, help her sister for a few months, and get back on her feet. But plans rarely hold up in a town like Serenity Falls.
Her grandmother’s memory is fading fast. Her sister, Emilia, is convinced their mother’s death wasn’t natural. And Anna finds herself returning to the family perfume tradition she tried to leave behind.
What starts as just a few bottles at the farmers market quickly stirs something deeper, as the fragrances she blends begin to unlock memories. Memories some consider best left buried.
Then someone breaks into their home, steals their grandmother’s scent grimoire, and poisons a well-known local. With Emilia facing the fallout, Anna is forced to dig into a past laced with rumor, grief, and a decades-old flood the town never quite recovered from.
But Anna will need more than formulas to find the truth. She’ll need to remember who she is—and what she’s capable of.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen, Alice Hoffman, and Ellery Adams, Fragrance of Forgotten Truths is an enchanting cozy mystery about memory, legacy, and the power of accepting your own truths.
