An Odd Bouquet from Paris — Peggy Kopman-Owens

A search for immortality? Did this bring people to Paris in the summer or was their search for something more lasting?" perhaps, love, romance, the perfect martini? When bouquets show up at Mrs. Duchesney's door four Sundays in a row with no cards attached, something other than a rare flower begins smelling odd to this seasoned Paris sleuth. The mystery is complicated when her newest client delivers an antique bottle of amber-colored liquid for analysis and her partner Louie Bertrand disappears from Paris… again. Is the bottle hidden on her bookshelf as priceless as the 300-year old gossip suggests? Could this be the elixir of eternal youth, coveted by French aristocracy and of which poets wrote? If so, solving this mystery could change the perfume industry forever, but is it worth the risk? Print edition and eBook available.
