The Scent of Murder

A fun listen about the goings-on in a busy shopping mall that climax in murder in a department store. Is the scented vandalism connected with the murder?

That’s the question Marissa found herself trying to answer when the bloody body of the woman who stole her husband was found lying over her desk. Can Marissa keep herself from being charged with murder? That’s the second question she needed to find an answer for – and fast.

An ailing child, an incompetent boss, an ex-husband in mourning for his lost love, and a pushy boyfriend add to Marissa’s problems, making a complex situation seem almost chaotic. In her search for answers, Marissa learns people aren’t what they seem, particularly the dead woman.
