One broken sculpture. Two dead bodies. A town full of artistic suspects. When estate sale manager Elsie Monroe accidentally shatters a “priceless” sculpture and discovers it’s a fake, her simple job becomes a deadly game. The charming art town of Crescent Ridge harbors dark secrets—and a killer determined to right decades-old wrongs. Bodies start dropping like bad auction bids. Elsie must identify the forger-turned-murderer while dodging a sculptor’s unwanted advances, navigating mistaken identity as a famous critic, and ignoring the sparks flying between her and the local sheriff who keeps catching her at her worst. Time’s running out. The killer’s watching. And Elsie might be the next masterpiece in their deadly collection.
