Posie Parker is bored. She has no cases to work on. And then, a summons comes from the House of Sinne, a well known and very famous perfume house. Truly a puzzlement since Posie wears little perfume. There is about to be a 'reveal' ... one in the making for two years ... a new and earth shattering fragrance ... This means a strange and unusual gathering of people, a peacock ... and, of course, a body. This is a very convoluted story, I could imagine the author with a flow chart hanging next to her keyboard! Lots of history, not all of it good, and connections between those invited? Also not good. How does it all work out? Murder in a Chelsea Garden is the twelfth Posie Parker Mystery by L.B. Hathaway.

What if the characters in the books we enjoy discovered they were characters? That every move they made, every thought they had, came from an author. An author interested in making sales? And what if they convinced other characters of this and vowed revenge on these authors? And then the authors figured this out and wanted to stop them? In the effort to avoid 'capture' the characters escape into various books: a bodice ripper, an intergalactic battle, a zombie uprising ... For a delightful and different read, go with Lost on a Page, by David E. Sharp. Such fun!
