Batthew Aromascent and the Missing Corpse Flower
The first book in a dazzling new mystery-adventure series set in the world of fragrance.
Join best friends Batthew and Lavender in this dazzling new mystery-adventure series set in the world of fragrance, perfect for fans of Nevermoor and The Jane Doe Chronicles!
When the world’s largest and most pungent flower goes missing right before its grand unveiling, the smell-mad city of Candlenut is in uproar. Luckily, Batthew Aromascent, 11-year-old heir to the famed Olfactory Fragrance House, and his best friend, Lavender, are on the case.
It isn’t just any missing flower, either. It’s a legendary Titan Arum, grown from a seed that was sent by Batthew’s parents – renowned noses, Roger and Joy Aromascent – before they vanished on an expedition deep in the jungle.
Batthew and Lavender have just three days to track it down before the flower wilts and dies, along with any clues as to his parents’ whereabouts. But are they prepared for what they’ll find in the darker corners of the fragrance world?
"I had my nose on high alert even when I wasn’t reading! Readers who enjoy a quirky whodunit will find this an enthralling read. Great for ages 8+!" – Readings Books
