What a unique and fresh idea for a cozy! The plot was fun and the storyline contained lots of info about feng shui practices. I felt like I learned a ton! I was guessing until the end about who the murderer was. Salome Waterhouse is a great character. Can't wait to read the next one.
I found this difficult to read. I liked the premise but not the execution. There were too many Feng Shui references in passing. As in simply walking down the street or entering a building. It felt forced. Or disjointed.
There's god feng shui...and then there's bad. Feng shui practitioner Salome Waterhouse knows the difference. She can spot a bad vibe from a mile away. Usually a simple rearranging of a room can patch things up. But occasionally, she has to delve a little deeper...Even before Salome inherited her granfather's infamous Perfume Mansion, she knew it had bad energy. Which is why she chose to rent it out to artist Palmer Fordham instead---and keep her distance. But that was before the phone call. Before an anonymous someone hired Salome to give the artist a feng shui birthday consultation. And before she showed up at the mansion to find Palmer dead. Now, Salome is the prime suspect in the wrong place at the wrong time. Talk about bad feng shui...
