Art expert/gallery owner Alix Thorssen is called on to appraise the charred remains of a friend's local gallery...a tragedy when the body of artist Ray Thornton is found among the debris. Or is he?
As her investigation forces her to confront her own foibles as an art lover, another murder puts her in the hot seat as a prime suspect. She must race to find a killer who knows that while life may imitate art--death makes it all the more profitable.
The first McClendon book I had read (Alix Thorssen series) and was pleasantly surprised. I would have liked to finish it all in on block of time, but due to "a job interfering", had to finish in two days. It was the first thing I grabbed when ever I had a free minute to read. Glad I read it....now have a new favorite author.
