Well, kind of. As she remarks tipsily on a hilarious date, ‘I can really smell…You see, in a way, I’m almost like Batman.’
This peculiarity in Ollie’s life—her uncanny sense of smell—she discovers is derived from her oscillating hormones, an unusual symptom of a health condition she has. As it happens, this unique trait serves her well as a rare female wine sommelier and beverage consultant, as she can sniff out and create complex flavour profiles.
Ollie’s life changes quite dramatically when she and her entire family decide to relocate to their ancestral estate, Neelbari, in Chandannagar. Strange and mysterious incidents start occurring as soon as Ollie, her aunt, cousin Laura, and their cat, Habey, move in. Is the malevolent spirit of her great-grandmother really haunting Neelbari? And why has their arrival caused so much alarm? What secrets are the walls and gardens of the hundred-year-old estate hiding? Why does no one seem to be telling the truth? Ollie and Laura try to solve these puzzles, only to find themselves in situations fraught with danger. As the finger of suspicion keeps moving, can Ollie sniff her way to solving this whodunnit? More importantly, can she save Fishy before it is too late? Read on to find out!”
