Description

"Cover Art by Vanessa Westermann has all the hallmarks of a great summer read." -- I've Read This


Charley Scott is thrilled to be running a summer pop-up gallery in cottage country. Returning to the lakeside village, not on vacation but as an artist, she's determined to turn her hobby into a career. Joined by two other artists, including her childhood friend Kayla, the Cover Art Exhibit is a dream come true.

But, beneath the surface of this peaceful town, darkness lurks. There's a history.

Local chocolatier, Matt Thorn, is struggling to come to terms with his father's recent death and his legacy of deception. As Matt plans to expose his father's secrets, Kayla's husband is found dead, the result of eating Matt's boutique chocolates.

The homicide investigation threatens to make Charley's pop-up gallery a failure before it even begins. Luckily, art is all about perspective and she's always had a keen eye. Can she see past the obvious and find the killer?

"I had a lot of fun reading Cover Art by Vanessa Westermann. It's the first in a new series and will make the most perfect summer read. ... The book reads like a charm and doesn't miss a beat. The dialogue is snappy, the character descriptions and interactions are great, and the plot develops very nicely."--Marian Misters, Sleuth of Baker Street
