Lacey Pinkerton, a florist newly arrived in Port Danby, has an extraordinary nose, a "million dollar" nose. Why? It is extremely sensitive and so can discern fragrances better than virtually everyone else on earth. But, it also brings some difficulties with it: she can become overwhelmed by either very strong odours or huge numbers of scents coming at her quickly. (Seems a little strange that she would choose to become a florist, but at least flowers smell nice.) As a Cozy Mystery, there is always an element of romance as well as a mystery of some sort. In this case her next door neighbour and a police detective. What will she do? Oh, the mystery is not that, of course. One of her neighbours is found lying in her pumpkin patch with her head inside a smashed pumpkin, her potential prize winning biggest pumpkin which is now destroyed.
So what happened? It is actually more interesting (to me, at least) to see how her nose plays a part in the solution. Lovett has created a quirky town with some fun characters with individual traits to carry on the plot. Well written, interesting, but sort of pedestrian at the same time.
I would call it pleasant beach reading. (

This one was pretty light on plot. Natural enough I guess for the introductory book in a series, introducing the setting, the lead character, all the other charactes and their quirks, and pleasant enough. Not much of a mystery though. (

Lately, I am in the mood for cozy-mystery books, and I have a lot of the first of a series both as a hard copy, an both Kindle and Scribd app.
A couple of weeks ago, as I was watching a couple of Booktube videos saw this book and decided to pick it up.
Lacey 'Pink' Pinkerton is an interesting character I liked how she snoops around and helps detective Briggs with the murder case.
The pace was fast, and the tension stayed high on the crime as well as the personal relationships, of which there are plenty as Lacey, gets to know her new town and its inhabitants. I think the series will get better with each book as I get more invested in the characters and the city. I am still excited that the MC has a pet crow(so cool)!!!
I look forward to continuing with the second book. (
