★★★★★ “Absolutely gripping! I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. If you love art, intrigue, and a good whodunit, this one’s for you.”

An art auction, a missing masterpiece, and a killer hiding in plain sight…

Fresh off solving the shocking murder of a famous art critic, Cassandra Fairweather is ready to leave crime-solving behind and focus on what she loves most—running the Willow Hollow Art Retreat. But when an exclusive charity art auction at the retreat takes a deadly turn, Cassandra finds herself entangled in yet another mystery.

The night of the auction, the prized painting—a long-lost masterpiece rumored to hold a hidden message—is dramatically revealed for the first time. But before the highest bidder can claim it, the painting vanishes… and the event’s most esteemed guest is found dead in the gallery, his body staged like a work of art.

With whispers of forgery, deception, and stolen identities, Cassandra must navigate a web of intrigue stretching from Montana’s mountain town to the high-stakes world of art collectors. Who wanted the painting so badly they’d kill for it? And what secret was hidden within the frame?

As tensions rise and another guest disappears, Cassandra’s sleuthing skills will be put to the test once more. But will she uncover the truth before the real killer decides she’s seen too much?
