Paradise Interrupted
Mayotte is where Magali and Charlotte have settled in a flat on loan from a friend. They are companions and lovers since Magali solved the murder of Charlotte’s son.
One evening, driving home in the dark, Charlotte hits a woman who dashed onto the road. The Gendarmerie Nationale pronounce her dead. But Charlotte wasn’t driving that fast and there are confusing associations around the woman and the accident itself.
Located off the coast of southwestern Africa, the island has surging tensions that have lead to riots. Afraid of arousing further hostility the women endeavour to keep to themselves. It doesn’t work out too well.
Perfume Island is a delightful book by Curtis Bausse, the author of One Green Bottle: A Magali Rousseau Mystery.

Intrigue and corruption on a small island…what could be better?
Thank you, June! It’s a relief to get it out there at last – now back to work on number three…
Wishing you great success Curtis!
Hmm. went to the site, and was curtly told that “this site can’t be found.’ HOWEVER, all the cutsie little icons on the right side were there… Je sui miffed, irked, und ired…… how’s THAT for trilingual nonsense???
Not sure what happened. I went back in and the Publish button was still active which meant it was ‘Unpublished’ Should be fine now, but you’ll likely get another notice.
Sorry about that!
