What's it about?
Emma Brennan may have her head in a cloud of eucalyptus, but her feet are firmly planted on the ground in breathtaking Carmel, California, as she prepares to open her new spa business, Aroma Wellness. But all the reiki, shiatsu, and massage in the world canât help her relax when sheâs accused of murder . . .
Everything is going smoothly as Emma prepares for the grand opening of the spa. The therapy rooms are painted. The sales shop and cafĂ© are stocked with meditative and delicious goodies, from essential oils to avocado masks and pricky pear massages. The fountain in the Courtyard of Peace is burbling with good vibrations. In fact, there isnât a whiff of trouble until that morning when Emma is shocked to learn that a rival spa owner has been bludgeoned . . . with an item from the goodwill basket Emma gave her. Worse, a witness is pointing the finger at Emma . . .
With the police treating Emma like sheâs the only suspect, and the townâs anti New Age anything posse
badmouthing her every step of the way, sheâs left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Incensed by the accusation, but empowered by her cousin, her nana, and her trusted Birman cat, Vivi, Emma reviews the potpourri of possible suspects, determined to uncover the essence of foul playâbefore sheâs cold-pressed for murder . . .
