Edgar Award-shortlisted author Ashley Weaver returns with the fourth installment in the Amory Ames mystery series.
The Essence of Malice is filled with her trademark style, wit and clever plotting, sure to delight and charm traditional mystery fans. In this highly enjoyable and engrossing mystery, Ashley Weaver--with her sure touch for evoking elegance and glamour--wafts her appealing and determined heroine Amory into the world of perfumers, family secrets and the heady whiff of murder. I loved the evocation of scents, skilful shifts of suspicion and the satisfying conclusion. --Frances Brody "The scent of murder and betrayal fills the Paris air . . . The climactic surprise makes this the best of her mysteries to date." --Kirkus Reviews "For pity's sake, darling, let me finish my coffee before you begin concocting schemes." When Amory Ames's husband Milo receives a troubling letter from his childhood nanny, Madame Nanette, the couple travel to Paris where they become embroiled in a mystery surrounding the death of a famous parfumier. Helios Belanger died suddenly, shortly before the release of his new, highly anticipated perfume, and Madame Nanette, who works for his family, is convinced that her employer's death was not due to natural causes. The more Amory and Milo look into the motives of industry rivals and the Belanger heirs who are vying for control of his perfume empire, the more they are convinced that Madame Nanette may be right. When secrets unfold and things take a dangerous turn, Amory and Milo must work quickly to uncover the essence of the matter and catch a killer before the scent goes cold. Also out now in the Amory Ames mysteries: Murder at the Brightwell, Death Wears a Mask and A Most Novel RevengeBinding Type: Paperback

Essential Prep for Top Scorers
Format: Paperback
As someone who was initially apprehensive about the transition from the traditional SAT to the new Digital SAT (DSAT), this test prep book has been a game changer.
What sets this book apart is its targeted approach. It's designed for students already scoring 600 or higher, focusing on the challenging questions of Module 2. This precision in practice ensures that you're not just reviewing what you already know - you're pushing the boundaries of your testing ability.
Each question is expertly crafted to mirror the format and difficulty of the actual DSAT questions, which has helped me gain confidence in handling the trickier problems, especially in the adaptive sections. The explanations are thorough and insightful, providing deeper understanding and techniques that are crucial for the exam.
Thanks to this book, I feel significantly more prepared than I ever have before. For anyone serious about aiming for the 99th percentile - this test prep book is for you!

Perfect for Serious Students!
Format: Paperback
As it states in the product details, the DSAT Prep book is great for students who already score 600 and higher.
As a teacher and tutor of the SATs (among other standardized exams), I needed more practice sets outside of the Barron's, The Princeton Review, and The College Board publications, which tend to be more mindful of beginner learners. I wasn't confident that the modules and questions from these texts were sufficiently challenging strong students. The DSAT from Edenbrook Learning removed that doubt.
I also appreciate the simplicity of the layout of the text: literally 4 tests with respective answer keys, raw score conversion, and explanations. There's no fluff — perfect for my needs.
Will recommend to colleagues and students alike!

The Best!!!!!
Format: Paperback
These practice tests are excellent. I feels so lucky to have found this prep book for my daughter right before the big test in May. The explanations for the main idea questions, fill-in-the-blank parts, and rewriting sentences were super useful and helped my daughter get a score over 700. Can't wait for the next book to come out!!
