Review: Scents and Sensibility by Spencer Quinn

A Mysterious Review of Scents and Sensibility by Spencer Quinn. A Chet and Bernie Mystery.

Review summary: The dynamic between the lead characters is once again the hallmark of this series. The mystery plot is a fairly complicated one, well-developed, and plays out in some unexpected ways. This is a solid entry, entertaining but not necessarily memorable, ranking about middle-of-the-pack with respect to the previous books. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Scents and Sensibility
Spencer Quinn
A Chet and Bernie Mystery
Atria Books (July 2015)

Publisher synopsis: Private Investigator Bernie Little and his canine companion Chet return home to encounter some alarming developments. First off, Bernie's wall safe — normally hidden behind the waterfall picture in the office — is gone, and with it Bernie's grandfather's watch, their most valuable possession. And next door, old Mr. Parsons is under investigation for being in possession of a saguaro cactus illegally transplanted from the desert. Bernie and Chet go deep into the desert to investigate. Is it possible that such a lovely old couple have a terrible secret in their past?

Chet and Bernie discover bad things going on in the wilderness, far worse that cactus smuggling, and all connected to a strange but innocent-seeming desert festival called Arrow Bright. They unearth leads that take them back to a long-ago kidnapping that may not have been a kidnapping and threaten a ruthless and charismatic criminal with a cult following, a criminal who sees at once what Chet and Bernie mean to each other and knows how to exploit it.

Stone's Fall, A Novel of Suspense by Iain Pears, Now Available at a Special Price

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Spiegel & Grau …

Stone's Fall by Iain Pears

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Spiegel & Grau

Price: $1.99 (as of 09/13/2015 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

At his London home, John Stone falls out of a window to his death. A financier and arms dealer, Stone was a man so wealthy that he was able to manipulate markets, industries, and indeed entire countries and continents. Did he jump, was he pushed, or was it merely a tragic accident? His alluring and enigmatic widow hires a young crime reporter to investigate.

The story moves backward in time — from London in 1909 to Paris in 1890 and finally to Venice in 1867 — and the attempts to uncover the truth play out against the backdrop of the evolution of high-stakes international finance, Europe's first great age of espionage, and the start of the twentieth century's arms race.

After two Seneca men break into their home with intent to kill, the Hollisters flee with the mute and injured girl to Tall Pines, their cabin in the Adirondacks. Marcella, unable to bear a child of her own, unleashes her motherly instincts caring for Kitty. As the girl slowly recovers, they start to piece together who wants them dead, and why.

But their pursuers are canny and relentless. The next attack drives the trio from the sanctuary of Tall Pines, deep into the mountain wilderness.

In spite of their best efforts, the unthinkable happens and Kitty is kidnapped. Marcella and Quinn track her back to Tall Pines — where they find themselves facing an army of murderous Seneca who'll stop at nothing to protect their dark secret.

A stabbing at Snatchpole's, the auctioneers, sends Detective Inspector Michael Angel on a hunt for the murderer of Geoffrey Sanson. The auction was held to sell off the effects from the Ogmore Estate, following the demise of Lord Ogmore. But hours after the murder, Geoffrey Sanson's house is broken into. Angel is called to the scene and finds the house in an absolute mess. His instincts tell him that this was done by an amateur.

Within days, Angel finds himself on the trail of a serial murderer. The only common factor linking the victims is their association with the late Lord Ogmore. With his only lead being a blind man, Angel is concerned about the progress of the case. There are no other clues, fingerprints, DNA or witnesses to the murders or break-ins. With the inspector breathing down his throat, Angel is under pressure to solve the murders as quickly as possible. Inspector Harker, thinking Angel is dragging his feet, lays another case on Angel … ATM scams led by the notorious Harry Youel, wanted by the police for several misdemeanours. Angel summons Cadet Ahmed Ahaz to aid him on multiple occasions. Eager to learn, Ahaz faithfully carries out all Angel's requests — no matter how bizarre they seem …

Meanwhile, Angel's wife Mary, having won a Raffle prize to see a medium, drags Angel along with her. The mediums' ability to deliver a message from Angel's dead father puts Angel on a personal mission — to prove to his wife the medium is a fake. Can Angel's ingenious methods help him solve the two cases and prove the medium is nothing but an opportunistic sham?

The Bone Vault by Linda Fairstein

An Alex Cooper Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Scribner

Price: $1.99 (as of 09/13/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

In the Metropolitan Museum of Art's glorious Temple of Dendur, wealthy donors have gathered to celebrate a controversial new exhibit. An uneasy mix of scholarship, showbiz, and aggressive marketing, "A Modern Bestiary" will be a joint venture of the Met and the American Museum of Natural History. With its IMAX time trips and Rembrandt refrigerator magnets, the "Bestiary" has raised fierce opposition from some of New York's museum elite. Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper, off duty for the evening, observes the developing tensions with bemused interest until Met director Pierre Thibodaux pulls her aside. He needs her advice. There's an urgent problem out at a loading dock on a New Jersey pier.

A Twelfth Dynasty mummified princess, enclosed for eternity in a huge stone sarcophagus, is about to take a long voyage to Cairo as part of a routine museum exchange. But Cleopatra is missing, and in her place is the not-so-mummified body of a woman many centuries younger than her royal predecessor.

Who is this woman with the small physique, the dark hair, and the shiny barrette? What is her connection, if any, to the rarefied world of priceless art and objects? And how and when did she become entombed in the sarcophagus?

Teaming with cops Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex must explore behind the scenes at the elegant but severe Metropolitan, travel uptown to the remote setting of the Cloisters and its medieval trove of funerary art, and on to the massive array of beasts and bones at the Museum of Natural History. Somewhere deep within the bowels of one of these great cultural centers, a killer may wait.

Publisher: Ballantine Books

    

The monomaniacal Rand brothers — Magnus, a cunning doctor, and Hamilton, a genius chemist — are ruthless in their pursuit of a cure for what was then known as the fatal "white-blood disease." In London's Royal Naval Hospital annex, Hester is tending one of the brothers' dying patients — wealthy Bryson Radnor — when she stumbles upon three weak, terrified young children, and learns to her horror that they've been secretly purchased and imprisoned by the Rands for experimental purposes.

But the Rand brothers are too close to a miracle cure to allow their experiments to be exposed. Before Hester can reveal the truth, she too becomes a prisoner. As Monk and his faithful friends — distinguished lawyer Oliver Rathbone and reformed brothel keeper Squeaky Robinson among them — scour London's grimy streets and the beautiful English countryside searching for her, Hester's time, as well as the children's, is quickly draining away.

The majestic landscape of the Scottish coast has attracted artists and fishermen for centuries. In the idyllic village of Kirkcudbright, every resident and visitor has 2 things in common: They either fish or paint (or do both), and they all hate Sandy Campbell. Though a fair painter, he is a rotten human being, and cannot enter a pub without raising the blood pressure of everybody there. No one weeps when he dies.

Campbell's body is found at the bottom of a steep hill, and his easel stands at the top, suggesting that he took a tumble while painting. But something about the death doesn't sit right with gentleman sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. No one in Kirkcudbright liked Campbell, and 6 hated him enough to become suspects; 5 are innocent, and the other is the perpetrator of the most ingenious murder Lord Peter has ever encountered.
