A beautiful Cornish coastal village is the setting for a highly
sinister conspiracy involving a kidnapped baby, mysterious monks
and an almost irresistible new perfume... 'Joan Aiken's triumph
with this genre is that she does it so much better than others' New
York Times Book Review Martha works for an advertising agency,
filming a TV commercial on location on the stunning Cornish coast.
The client is the eccentric owner of a chemicals company that has
invented a new, almost irresistible perfume, and Martha is in
charge of shooting the romantic ads - unfortunately starring his
beautiful but highly manipulative daughter-in-law. Before long,
Martha finds herself embroiled in the conspiracy over the perfume's
true origin - to say nothing of a kidnapped baby, sinister monks,
her own long-since vanished ex-husband and a series of exploding
soup cans. And what of her own floundering love life...? 'Witty and
acute ... a nice romantic thriller' Punch
