The Agatha Award-winning author of Shredding the Evidence returns to the Cookbook Nook, where it will take a stroke of genius for Jenna Hart to solve the murder of a local artist ...

Jenna's thrilled to be showing one of her own amateur paintings at the fair, but her excitement quickly fades when an up-and-coming artist is murdered. What's more, all the evidence points to a good friend of Jenna's as the culprit, and she'll have to use all her wits to prove his innocence before he paints himself into a corner.

Jenna will have to wine and dine her way through all the clues before she can see the full picture and put the real killer behind bars--all the while avoiding her own brush with death ...
