The young widow finds herself sucked into a desperate search for the killer of both her late husband, a private investigator in the small, affluent town of Paradise Valley, and the unfaithful husband of his last client. The police arrest a convenient suspect, which pulls Emily dangerously into the thick of things. Emily's world is rocked when she uncovers some clues that reveal her late husband may not have been who he said he was. With the help of her close circle of friends and the sexy new police detective in town, the race is on to find the real killer before the wrong person is sent to prison and Emily winds up dead.Murder, mystery, romance and intrigue—The Scent of Lies will keep you wondering 'who dunnit?' until the very end.
