Move over Miss Marple, there's a new sleuth in town.For those whose lives have gotten complicated, running away and joining the circus may seem like a reasonable option. It certainly appealed to Miss Henry when she needed to shuffle off the NSA's deadly coil. Joining an art colony is the closest things she could find to a circus.Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch.--WritersWrite.comJuliet Henry, water-color artist and retired agent of the NSA, wouldn't stack up her knowledge of the human heart against the great romantic poets, but she knows a thing or two about human avarice and stupidity. It comes as no great surprise when the small artists' colony of Bartholomew's Woods ends up with a dead resident.Harvey Allen was a professional gossip, hated the length and breadth of the state for his scandal-mongering in the press, and it seemed that one of Juliet's talented but idiosyncratic neighbors had finally had enough of his pernicious tale-bearing and decided to paint him out of the picture. Juliet may sympathize, but she also knows that once a person resorts to murder to hide a secret, chances are good that they may choose to kill again. Can she find the murderer before the killer paints the town red?Portrait of a Gossip is the first book in the Miss Henry Mystery Series.If you are a fan of Ngaio Marsh or Agatha Christie you are going to love Juliet Henry and the residents of Bartholomew's Woods.Praise for the AuthorA wickedly sexy tale!--Christine Feehan, New York Times Bestselling Author (on The Selkie)... delivers sizzling romance and ghoulish thrills at a breathtaking clip.--Publishers Weekly (on Traveler)Readers of Laurel K. Hamilton will enjoy this complex tale...--Booklist (on Still Life)Three times nominated for RT's Reviewers' Choice Award.Twice nominated for RT's Lifetime Achievement Award.***If you're looking for mysteries in other series by the same author, simply search for Chloe Boston, Butterscotch Jones, Wendover House, or Miss Henry.
