A stolen painting, a small town scandal, and kisses the sheriff can’t resist.
When up-and-coming artist Pierre’s big debut reveals a blank wall instead of his masterpiece, Oak Creek’s art show erupts into pandemonium. Enter best friends—and amateur sleuths—Claire and CC, determined to solve the case, no matter what the sheriff says.
The last time trouble struck their small town, the duo helped catch a killer (though the sheriff might argue how helpful they were). This time, they’re on the hunt for a missing painting, a slippery thief, and maybe a little adventure along the way.
Unfortunately, Claire’s propensity to inflict harm on the sheriff complicates things—especially when he keeps trying to steal kisses whenever he can. What’s a few bruises, crushed fingers, black eyes, and concussions when the chemistry is undeniable?
As sparks fly and chaos follows, Claire must juggle her feelings, her foot-in-mouth moments, and her very questionable detective methods.
Can Claire and CC recover the stolen artwork before the culprit vanishes for good? Or will their unqualified sleuthing land them, and their town, in another masterpiece of mayhem?
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries brimming with laughter, love, and a touch of small-town mischief.
