The Art of Murder - Paperback

When journalist Parker Lee covers a national symposium on a local painter, she expects nothing but endless lectures and stuffy academics. Instead, she uncovers nasty rivalries, art theft, and - the biggest scoop of all - murder.

A stranger lurking around the Lakeview Inn discovers a long-lost painting by the local artist, Julia Larke. But is it the real thing? Someone must think so, because within hours a thief tries to snatch it - and leaves a dead body behind.

Now, Parker must expose the culprit, before the murder kills her beloved town's reputation.

In Allington, if your last name is Lee, murder's a family affair. Join Parker Lee and her big, quirky family for a cozy mystery set in the small town of Allington - a perfect setting for a puzzling murder.
