Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind, translated into English by John E. Woods
If you are anything like me, then Perfume: The Story of a Murderer will prove a most tantalising title. And, if you are anything like me, you will not be disappointed upon delving inside.

Published in 1985, Perfume fast became a best-seller in Patrick Suskind’s native German.
