Perfume Island

People come out here, they do things they wouldn't do back home. All they wanted was a quiet evening together. Then came the phone call. And a chain of events which would take Magali Rousseau into the sinister heart of the tropical island of Mayotte. Where a gloss of beauty hides a tangle of contradictions and fears. Where the scent of perfume covers the stench of poverty. And where Magali goes on a perilous search for the truth. In 2011, Mayotte became France's 101st department. Generosity? Or the cynical occupation of a colony? Perfume Island - a mystery story where the setting itself is a mystery. A geopolitical oddity seething with tension. A wonderland waiting to explode. And everyone is paying the price. Second in the Magali Rousseau mystery series, Perfume Island is a standalone book that continues the story of Magali and Charlotte. In One Green Bottle, first in the series, the two women confronted a serial killer - in Perfume Island, they grapple with a death in paradise.
