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 can't help her relax when she's 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 café are stocked with meditative and delicious goodies, from essential oils to
avocado masks and prickly pear massages. The fountain in the Courtyard of Peace is burbling with good
vibrations. In fact, there isn't 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 she's the only suspect, and the town's anti New Age anything posse
badmouthing her every step of the way, she's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Incensed
by the accusations 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 play-before she's cold-pressed
for murder . . .
