Every Voice Deserves to Be Heard
When famous voice actor Spencer Holloway collapses during a recording session at the historic Candlewick Cove Theater, candle shop owner Violet Scentwell's keen nose detects something sinister—the unmistakable scent of deliberate sabotage. As Spencer's custom headphones reveal signs of tampering, Violet must untangle a web of professional rivalries, stolen innovations, and long-simmering resentments before the killer strikes again at the memorial service.
With suspects including Spencer's estranged daughter with electrical engineering expertise, his ambitious agent with contract rights to inherit, a rival voice actor with a military background in audio technology, and a desperate producer facing financial ruin, Violet employs her signature "scent memory technique" to connect fragmented clues. But when her investigation notebook disappears and someone breaks into the theater's sound booth, she realizes the killer is monitoring her every move.
As the mystery deepens, Violet discovers the truth behind Spencer's legendary career—a pattern of appropriating others' innovations without credit—and must confront a murderer who engineered the perfect poetic justice: using Spencer's own voice and stolen technology against him. With time running out before the memorial service becomes another staged performance of revenge, Violet must identify the true culprit among the whispers of deception echoing through Candlewick Cove.
