Lacey ‘Pink’ Pinkerton has left behind a six figure job and her reputation as the million dollar nose–a nickname her super sense of smell earned her within the perfume industry. With her pet crow Kingston and a tabby cat named Nevermore, she is settling right into her new life in the small coastal town of Port Danby. With a flower shop opening soon and a full cast of quirky neighbors and … and friends, her new digs are exactly what she’s been looking for. Away from the hectic hustle and bustle of the city Lacey has found peace and happiness. However, her heightened sense of smell proves to be of use once again when a Port Danby neighbor turns up dead. Lacey finds herself caught up in an unexpected murder investigation alongside the handsome local detective, James Briggs. She’s determined to find the killer and solve the murder mystery before any more bodies turn up.

loved the main character with an interesting “super power”
Good book.
Cute story with enjoyable characters.
Enjoyed the character’s especially how Pink took to the small town. Also having a crow and cat pretty cute. Then you add detective James Briggs and it starts to get steamed up,after Pinks neighbor is found dead
What’s not to love about this delightful cozy mystery? First off Port Danby sounds like a great place to live, well except for the murders, but really, the description of the town reminds me of some of my favorite places on the Washington coast.
I also loved that Lacey “Pink” Pinkerton has a unique skill, a super sense of smell, that makes her the perfect person to sniff out the murderer. Of course it helps that the local detective is pretty smart, and of course handsome.
This book hit all my must haves for a cozy mystery and I’m thrilled I discovered this author. I’ve also finished 3 more books in this series and am looking forward to many more hours of enjoyable mystery reads about the quirky seaside town of Port Danby and it’s cast of characters.
Kind of cliche but I might read another beforeI decide.
A page turner until the end
A really fun read – but predictable!
Liked the descriptions of the setting and the characters but what happened to the possibility of romance? There were two eligible bachelors in the story that a romance could easily have been developed.
A fun cozy with an unusual premise – a new flower shop owner with a million-dollar nose (‘escapee’ from the perfume industry). Her elevated sense of smell helps her solve crimes – not the common thing! Good characters in an interesting small town with surprising twists.
The nose knows
I enjoyed reading this book. It was fun and fast read. Just entertaining.
This is the first charming book in the series Port Danby Cozy Mysteries. I loved it and each and everyone of them thereafter. That also goes for the Fyrefly Junction Mysteries. They are all suspenseful, humerous, entertaining with delightful characters. I can’t remember when a series of books has capured my reading time and enthusiasm to such an extent.
This series is a fun read.
Very different. A sleuth with a great sense of smell as her hidden talent in finding clues. Quick moving, surprising turns in the story. Enjoyable read!
enjoyed the development of characters, especially the main character and her wonderful nose. Looking forward to learning more in forth coming books in the series. Also found the cultural incites into the community interesting and am anxious to see how specific traits of the characters impact the continuing saga.
I loved this book and am looking forward to more of these adventures
This was a fun read, liked the main character a lot.
