False Picture by Veronica Heley
A widowed amateur sleuth shadows an international art thief from London to Bruges in this "sprightly second cozy" by the author of False CharityBea Abbot doesn't do murder. The modest agency she runs from her Victorian home in Kensington is better at finding good domestic help and the best caterers. Yet how can she turn away her oldest friend? Velma's prodigal stepson Philip has vanished. So has a valuable pre-Raphaelite painting from the home of Philip's eccentric godmother, Lady Lucinda Farne. Seeing that Lucinda's been stabbed to death, she can't possibly clear Philip's name. But Bea can. At least that's what Velma hopes.
Now Bea must locate a runaway bad boy, track down a valuable Millais, and solve a deadly crime. Of course, if Philip didn't do it, that means Bea and her wily young undercover assistant will be tangling with someone far more dangerous--a professional well-schooled in the art of murder.
Veronica Heley is a dedicated member of her local church and community. She is a resident of Ealing, West London. Veronica is the author of the Ellie Quicke Mysteries and the Abbot Agency series, all of which are hugely popular. The fourteenth Abbot Agency novel is False Conclusion.
