review 1: Jac L'Etoile is the daughter of a perfumist, a business her family has been deeply involved in for over a century. She has inate abilities her brother Robbie doesn't have. With them is the ability to envision events of the past.Robbie goes missing, the Dali Lama wants pottery shards Robbie has, and a L'Etoile secret may shatter a Chinese reincarnation law.It was interesting, especially the legit history and facts (the law, Cleopatra's obsession with scent, reincarnation beliefs).
review 2: In this the fourth installment of The Reincarnationist, the power of scent is explored. Malachi Samuels is back on his quest for proof of reincarnation. The tool he seeks this time is a scent, dated back to ancient Egypt. The House of L'Etoile is a famed French perfume compa
... moreny. Dating back to the 1700's, the family owned company is struggling to keep it's head above water. An ancient scent, has been hidden away that could unlock the mystery surrounding the theory of past lives and solve the financial crisis the House of L'Etoile finds itself in. This is a complex multi-layered story.I love a good mystery and this one does not disappoint.Spanning centuries,the reader is caught in a vortex of suspense. And historically there is much to be learned. M.J. Rose is meticulous in her research.The series flows one book to another.And if a series is not what you seek,each book in her Reincarnationist series stands alone beautifully. less
