SYNOPSIS:

 The second Enchanted Garden Mystery from Bailey Cattrell—author of the New York Times bestselling Magical Bakery Mysteries as Bailey Cates.

Elliana Allbright’s custom-made perfume shop and the Enchanted Garden behind it are garnering all sorts of attention, but a dead body could bury her in bad publicity. . . .
 

Ellie’s business and personal life have been flourishing in her hometown of Poppyville, California, since she opened Scents & Nonsense. She uses her very special skills to craft perfumes that almost magically ease heartache, inspire change, and bring joy—and her customers love to relax in the beautiful garden behind her shop with her corgi, Dash, and her cat, Nabokov. She even lives right next to the garden, in a compact “tiny house”—and she’s excited to hear that a journalist is going to write a feature about her home and garden for a national magazine.
          But then the journalist is found dead, and suspicion falls on the last person to see him—who just happens to be Ellie’s brother’s girlfriend. So before everything goes to seed, Ellie must rely on her powers—observational and otherwise—to pick out the real killer from an ever-expanding bouquet of culprits. . . .

Enchanting fits this story perfectly. It draws you in and holds you captive as you wish there was a town with residents like this that you could live in.

Author Bailey Cattrell has created a cast of characters that are intriguing and quirky. They keep you guessing what will happen next all the while you wish they were your neighbors. The small-town atmosphere is realistic and inviting. The vivid descriptions bring the town and people to life before your eyes.

There’s a good blend of suspense and mystery mixed with friendship and loyalty for a well-balanced story. There are touches of magic and tidbits of humor throughout the story.

NIGHTSHADE FOR WARNING will keep you on your toes and guessing who the killer is until the end.
