About this listen
Bad muse travels fast....
The people of Stoneybrook are worried when billionaire Victoria VanFranken moves to town. They know that much money usually brings trouble. And they aren’t wrong. After less than a month in the valley, Victoria is found murdered in her mansion.
The most surprising part is that the main suspect is one of their own: Suzanne, a local artist and Hadley’s best friend, was the last person to see Victoria alive. The evidence overwhelmingly points to Suze, who was hired to paint a portrait of the billionaire and argued with Victoria hours before her death.
Hadley’s sure the pieces of art in Suze’s gallery aren’t the only things being framed, but can she prove it before Suze is out of options?

ANOTHER FUN STONEYBROOK ADVENTURE
It was great to have Hadley, Suze, Luke, and Paul back for another mystery. I love these characters and their town. I do believe it is about time to kick Sheriff McKay to the curb, though. Ready for the next book in this captivating series.

Entertaining cozy mystery
A Sketchy Demise was an entertaining cozy mystery and one that I really enjoyed. From the first chapter to the last, I was hooked as I followed the clues trying to guess the murderer before Hadley, her brother and friends. Will Hadley be able to save Suze or will she be too late?
Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya has really brought these books to life for me and did a fabulous job keeping me entertained. This was a book filled with a lot of intrigue and suspense and I was kept guessing until the end.

Another Great Sketchy Stoneybrook Mystery
This is another great book from Eryn Scott. The story was intriguing with all the red herrings and kept me listening and guessing until the end. The narrator, Jennifer Jill Araya, is always pleasure to listen to. The mystery starts with vandalism in Stoneybrook, and a murder of a new resident with Hadley's best friend Suze the main suspect.. Hadley, and her brother, do all that they can to clear Suze's name and find the culprit. Can't wait until the next in the series.
