After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop! This cozy mystery was a pleasant surprise! I definitely enjoyed reading this one!! This book had intrigue, mystery, murder, a great who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely recommend reading this one! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

#EssentialsofMurder #NetGalley is a cute cozy mystery that I enjoyed reading. Carissa has returned to her home town to restart her life after an embarrassing incident.
She's opening an aromatherapy shop and before she has a chance to have her grand opening, she's shut down to do a murder that took place in her shop.
Proving she's innocent should be an easy task, however, someone is determined to make her pay.
I think this book was well written and I enjoyed meeting new characters. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
