Short
Summary of the book:
Miris suffers from hyperosmia. She can smell
more than normal people can and has used this to help the police in solving

Then her friend dies in mysterious circumstances

boyfriend who died several years ago.
Miris gets close to Sam and Saira, her neighbours
and then things start to get out of hand.

Book
Description by Author:
“If I were wired to sense just one thing in
this entire world, it would be the smell of you. Not flowers, not petrichor.
Not liquid ink or pages of a new book. You. Just You. Filling all the spaces of
my being.”
For Miris, her keen sense of smell has always
been a blessing and a bane. For years, she has wrapped herself in seclusion to
escape the dark memories of her past. When the mysterious death of her best
friend sends her world crashing down, she finds herself in a dangerous quagmire
of nostalgia and temptation as terrifying secrets emerge.
Then one day… she’s suddenly engulfed by his
essence.
Roy, who she’d promised to love forever.
Roy, who was never supposed to come back.
Plunged into cyclic nightmares, Miris will
have to navigate the haunted realms of hallucination and reality as help and
deception arrive in unexpected forms.
Will Sam and Saira, her friendly neighbours
become twin rays of the sunshine she craves or will they be consumed by her
darkness?
Is this insanity? Or a sinister presence?
‘Linger, when you’re gone’, a unique
psychological thriller packed with romance and suspense, will quicken your
pulse and keep it racing!
