Someone in MooiKill has a talent for murder, but is no lover of the arts.
Playing piano for the Stone Boat Art Studio painting classes, Violet has seen a killer portrait or two. But when an oversized paint brush is stabbed into master artist and grumpy studio owner, uncle Edmund, there’ll be no more happy sky’s in his future.
With Gus, the kitty prince, and Willow, uncle Edmund’s faithful dog, Violet must connect the dots to reveal a sinister pallet, and keep Agustin, her on again, off again, from being framed for the murder, by officials, only to eager to draw murderous conclusions.
If that’s not enough, Violet’s family legacy is threatened by a bitter nun with a mother superiority complex. With so many clues erased to time, it’s no easy paint by number.
Join Violet, in her first-time sleuthing, as she races to uncover the murder of her Uncle and save her family heritage before their canvas is wiped clean.
