Essentials of Murder
Recovering from a scandal that chased her from San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael struggles to find acceptance
in her small Southern California hometown as she opens her aromatherapy and reflexology shop.
When she finds a man murdered in her distilling room, Carissa becomes the main suspect,
especially when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek Valley’s chief of police,
most townspeople assume she’s guilty—including the new leading detective.
Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save her shop and her family’s reputation.
With suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it’s too late.
Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.
