Great book! I really enjoyed the mystery as well as a little romance thrown into the mix. It kept me guessing until the end. I would definitely read another book by this author.

Then the gallery owner is found dead with a splash of red paint across his body. Vanessa recognizes it as Jim's signature mark.

A well written story about a young widow who tries to move on with her life only to find out that something or someone is trying to hold her back. People connected with her and with her husband's career have the habit of turning up dead. And what's worse is that each corpse is found with a splash of red paint across his body and the heroine recognizes that "signature" as her deceased husband's handiwork. Was it really him in the car when he drove it into the Missouri River? Has he, dead or alive, come back to haunt her?
