Review of “Behind the Frame” by Tracy Gardner

Publisher Description

When art in the park

leads to murder in the dark,

the Shepherd sisters

have another crime to solve.

Savanna Shepherd, an art expert turned elementary art teacher, is planning the Art in the Park festival for her hometown of Carson. But apparently, someone isn’t happy that Carson got to host the event: the beloved statue in the park is destroyed. Not long after, Savanna finds the dead body of one of the people on the planning committee.

Savanna and her sisters are convinced that the arrested murder suspect didn’t do it, despite strong evidence to the contrary. With the help of Dr. Aidan Gallager, Savanna’s new romantic interest, they uncover hidden resentments and intrigue. Several people in Carson had a motive for the murder. Can they find out which one of them is behind the framing of an innocent person?

This intriguing mystery includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Mini Rhubarb Pies.

My Review:

I enjoyed the characters in this cozy mystery.  The three Shepherd sisters are entertaining, and I liked their commitment to being there for each other at all times.  The storyline is interesting, and the solution to the mystery wasn’t apparent for the majority of the book.  This is a clean story with a little bit of sweet romance as a secondary storyline.  I like this series, and hope there will be another book that features these sisters.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
