Cass's 'grandparents' are antique dealers. They are paid a regular visit by Gloria, an estate agent, who comes with boxes of items left in old houses up for sale. One day, the box she brings has intriguing items that used to belong to a magician, now missing, presumed dead. One item is a box containing many vials, named the Symphony of Smells. Thus begins a magical adventure full of drama and suspense for Cass and her schoolfriend Max-Ernest. They find out sinister information about Ms Mauvais and Dr L., and discover that they themselves have something these two baddies desperately want. With lots of humour, this is a good start of a series for 9-10yr olds.
