The art world is deliciously petty.
Until the stakes are raised to murder.
Cornwall, 1936.
Our intrepid trio descends on a Cornish island for an art competition to settle old scores. But someone's new scorecard adds up to murder.
A delightful weekend away on an island halts with the coming storm. Cut off from the mainland, Ruby, Fina, and Pixley must sharpen their wits against a cunning murderer quite content with bumping off the next guest without a second thought. A tangle of international intrigue and the London Art world brings together a vivacious New York painter, a mysterious Barbadian sugar-company officer, a larger-than-life host, an eccentric Welsh painter, a frenetic gallery owner, an Irish psychotherapist, an heiress to a fortune, a loyal valet, and a devoted secretary. But which of them dares to dabble in the art of murder?
Our trio must solve the murder before everyone on the island becomes victim to this artist's experiments in erasure.
If you love golden age detection with a dash of history, join our fashionable Oxford sleuth-spies in a delightful mystery romp through the 1930s. Ruby and Fina wager that you'll never guess who did it.
