FROM AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR CASSANDRA DOON, COMES A FUNNY, WITTY, AND DIABOLICAL ROMCOM. ONE THAT WILL LEAVE YOU WONDERING "HOW DID BERNIE LEARN ALL THESE FACTS?"

Bernie makes candles. Lovely, relaxing candles that definitely don't contain chloroform, and if they do, it's purely for scientific purposes and improved sleep quality. Many successful "experiments" have taught her that there's always a creative solution to society's pest problem.

Living in Genie's magical estate should be a dream come true, except Bernie has a talent for setting things on fire, knocking over priceless antiques, and accidentally creating what might technically be classified as chemical weapons.

When three mysterious butchers roll into their sleepy Lancashire town, Bernie's scientific curiosity is piqued. Especially when she meets Theo, a man who appreciates the finer points of making problems disappear forever.

He's got secrets darker than her basement laboratory and a moral compass that points in the same deliciously twisted direction as hers.

It should be the perfect match, except Bernie's never fallen for someone who might actually understand her hobbies. And Theo's never met a woman who could give him a run for his money in the "morally questionable life choices" department.

Some candles burn brighter than others. Some love stories are deadlier than most.

Candles make Great Alibis is a Romcom based in Lancashire England. This book does touch on some themes like murder, and cannibalism. If these subjects bother you please refrain from listening.
