Description

Coming out of retirement can be deadly...

After tragedy struck three years earlier, art sleuth Carmen De Luca vowed to never work in the field again. But fifty is too young to fill her days with water aerobics and bingo, so when her former partner calls and begs for her help, Carmen gladly agrees.

Yet after their first assignment - the recovery of a rare medieval prayer book from an eccentric collector living in rural France - goes horribly wrong, Carmen ends up in the crosshairs of both the local police and a murderer!

With her target dead and the stolen book missing, she and her partner will have to pull out all of the stops to sleuth out the true killer's identity - before their stay in France becomes permanent.

Introducing Carmen De Luca, an art sleuth with a nose for mystery and the job of locating valuable artwork stolen from museums around the world. If you love strong and resourceful heroines, puzzling mysteries, and a dash of art history, pick up Collecting Can Be Murder now!

Reviews

"This was a fun story that reminds me of Lee Dobbins Kate Diamond series. There are developed characters, some minor intrigue, and a bit of humor."- Thomas, 5-star Goodreads review
