Reseña del libro "Aphrodesia: Death by Passion (en Inglés)"
A MYSTERY LIKE NO OTHER.- Kirkus Reviews -- "Eric Foster is one of the most perceptive and creative "noses" in the perfume industry. ... While a student at the most prestigious perfume academy in France, Eric recreates (against the admonishments of his professor) a long-lost fragrance said to have been used by the Queen of Sheba to lure a reluctant King Solomon to her bed. This aphrodisiacal perfume, Balquees, contains a rare ingredient, the acquisition of which gets Eric expelled. Cast out by his mentors and abandoning his project, Eric rebuilds his life in New York by moonlighting as a scent-based forensics consultant (paired with his 3-legged bloodhound, Daisy) to the NYPD. When a counterfeit version of Balquees, called SF, begins to wreak havoc by driving would-be lovers to kill each other in extreme bouts of lust, the police have an obvious suspect. Eric, who would never hurt anyone (or produce such an inferior product), races to clear his name ... Working side by side with the sardonic, emotionally wounded forensics expert Tanya, Eric is thrown into a series of increasingly violent incidents, the culmination of which forces him to face his disgraced past." "A brilliant, engaging twist on the traditional crime novel." - (Kirkus Verdict: ✓ "GET IT")_______________________________ "A MOST UNUSUAL BOOK ... A DELICIOUS STORY and fun to read. I couldn't wait to get back to it each night. Very much liked the insights into the world of fragrance. I know that scent is primal and influences much of how we react to people and what we remember through the years. And the sex is sexy and the author pulled if off quite well without overdoing it." - Amazon reader "MORE THAN YOU THINK. - MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. - In the beginning, there is a very explicit sex scene. So I gave up on it. Six months later I came back to see if there was anything else. Wow, am I glad I did. No more sex but a fantastic plot with twists and turns you could not have foreseen ... a major page turner. Very creative and very well written, right to the end. I loved it." - Amazon reader "TERRIFIC! - Unlike any other I've read." - Amazon reader "HAD NOT FINISHED A BOOK in more than 10 years, yet I COULDN'T PUT APHRODESIA DOWN UNTIL I WAS DONE." - Amazon reader_______________________________ JOHN OEHLER is a bestselling and multiple award-winning author. His other novels include PAPYRUS, TEPUI: The Last Expedition, and EX LIBRIS.
