This story kept me turning pages to discover how Claire would get out of the mess she's unwittingly gotten herself into when she finds a painting in an old suitcase under her Aunt Cady's bed. Which of her new acquaintances, met while trying to find out if the painting is a real Vermeer or a forgery, can she trust and which are out to steal the painting (and kill her in the process.)
How has it taken me so long to discover this intriguing mystery?

Charming little mystery featuring Claire Montrose, a woman who has settled for a dull existence in the Oregon DMV until extraordinary circumstances force her to learn how strong and smart she really is.
