Every masterpiece tells a story—this one whispers murder.
In the picturesque
town of Wisteria, Wisconsin, gallery owner Skye Johnson loves celebrating local
art and the friends who create it. When photographer Lucas Cooper agrees to
show his new collection honoring his late mentor, Skye can’t wait to display it—until
one photo reveals something strange. Hidden in the image of the old Hendrickson
barn, where Lucas’s mentor was found dead, is a detail that doesn’t belong.
Someone has added
a painted clue—a silent cry for help from a witness too afraid to speak. Now,
Skye and Lucas must unravel the mystery brushstroke by brushstroke before the
truth—and the artist—are buried for good.
Our Review:
It’s always a
pleasure to read something crafted by the multi-published, award winning Maxine
Douglas. A writer of different genres, with Art of Deception, her talent
for creating suspense—then putting it to paper—excels. Plus, the small-town
atmosphere of Wisteria is a pure pleasure to read, including the unique
flower-related names of businesses and events.
And not to be
overlooked is the slow burn romance between Skye and Lucas, a heart- warming
journey that keeps the reader turning the pages to see if these two stubborn
artists will ever take that last step toward happy. Do not miss this one; it’s
a winner.
Based on a scale
of 1-5, Art of Deception merits a 7.
