Van Gogh-ing...going...gone!
Poor Judith McMonigle Flynn! All she wants is a much-needed break from the rigors of running Hillside Manor. But she and cousin Renie have barely set foot in their family's backwoods vacation cottage... and already they're having a brush with the local law. It appears someone has painted their neighbor, world-renowned artist Riley Tobias, permanently out of the picture. And the artful slayer has managed to frame luckless Judith for the crime! But the model amateur sleuth isn't about to sit still for this, as she and her cousin canvas the countryside in search of a killer. Judith is certain the culprit can be found in the rogues' gallery of oily agents, malicious mistresses, and crafty critics who inhabited the defunct da Vinci's surrealistic world. But the cousins could be painting themselves into a dangerous corner with this unofficial investigation... and setting themselves up for another fatal art attack.

Well, I don't know what to say. It always is interesting to make acquaintance to a new series of cozies. And the nearly blind artist was a interesting person for me because I work for the blind, but I am not quite sure if she was realistically described or not. There are legally blind artists even in Finland, but...
I think that maybe the writer tried too hard to be witty or humorous. Anyway I must read another book in this series - if I ever see one - to be sure of that.

Otanpa mukaan miittiin, jospa jollekin kelpaisi...

Lähti mukaan eilisestä miitistä, kannen perustella leppoisaa kesälukemista

Easy summer reading. I'm not usually good at guessing the murderer, but this time I did.
These crime-solving cousins reminded me of Blyton's Five, although about 40 years older, they ate all the time too...

RELEASE NOTES:


The book is to be released at the Book and the Rose event in Klaukkala library. Happy reading!
