Unearth the Secrets of Candlewick Cove

When landscape architect Fiona Russell is crushed beneath a collapsing stone pergola during the Garden & Heritage Festival, candle shop owner Violet Scentwell suspects foul play rather than the structural failure everyone assumes. Using her remarkable sense of smell and unique "scent memory technique," Violet begins digging into Fiona's past—and discovers a buried treasure of colonial artifacts that someone would kill to possess.

As Violet investigates with her close-knit circle of friends, she uncovers a web of deception involving substituted restoration materials, stolen historical treasures, and a sibling rivalry that turned deadly. With each clue she unearths, Violet realizes the pergola collapse was meticulously engineered to silence Fiona before she could expose a lucrative artifact smuggling operation that had been flourishing beneath Candlewick Cove's picturesque surface for years.

When the killer realizes Violet is close to uncovering the truth, she becomes the next target. Racing against time as the festival continues around them, Violet must use all her sensory perception and small-town connections to catch a murderer before she becomes the next victim buried beneath the weight of long-hidden secrets. In Candlewick Cove, some things are meant to stay buried—but the truth always finds a way to bloom.
