This book is the second book in the Eleanor Wilde series by Tamara Berry. I have not yet read the first book, but had no issues reading this as a standalone. I would, however, LOVE to read the first book and future stories, because it was good!
The story is about Eleanor Wilde, a woman who is pretending to be a psychic. She has a long history of being a con artist and has settled in a quaint English villiage. Ellie sells "potions" and "tonics" to locals, claiming them to be love potions, etc, however mostly they are water, vodka, and some essential oils and local herbs. When one of the townspeople dies of poisoning, the police look at Ellie as their prime suspect.
Ellie, of course, takes to investigating on her own to find the true killer. She also ends up with a pair of teenage girls as assistants, who are surprisingly good at their investigating. This ending of this book was somewhat of a surprise to me, but I think it wrapped up well. I would love to hear more about Ellie's hunky rich boyfriend Nicholas, and I'm looking forward to more in the series.
My thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
