The Essence of Malice: A Mystery

Edgar Award-shortlisted author Ashley Weaver returns with the fourth instalment in the Amory Ames mystery series.

When Milo Ames receives a troubling letter from his childhood nanny, Madame Nanette, he and Amory travel to Paris where they are soon embroiled in a mystery surrounding the death of a famous parfumier. The more Amory and Milo look into the motives of industry rivals and heirs who are vying for control of his perfume empire, the more they are convinced that Nanette may be right. When secrets unfold and things take a dangerous turn, Amory and Milo must work quickly to uncover the essence of the matter and catch a killer before the scent goes cold.

“The scent of murder and betrayal fills the Paris air . . . The climactic surprise makes this the best of her mysteries to date.” KIRKUS REVIEWS
