It certainly appealed to Miss Henry when she needed to shuffle off the NSA's deadly coil. Joining an art colony is the closest things she could find to a circus.\"Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch.\"--WritersWrite.comJuliet Henry, water-color artist and retired agent of the NSA, wouldn't stack up her knowledge of the human heart against the great romantic poets, but she knows a thing or two about human avarice and stupidity. It comes as no great surprise when the small artists' colony of Bartholomew's Woods ends up with a dead resident.Harvey Allen was a professional gossip, hated the length and breadth of the state for his scandal-mongering in the press, and it seemed that one of Juliet's talented but idiosyncratic neighbors had finally had enough of his pernicious tale-bearing and decided to paint him out of the picture. Juliet may sympathize, but she also knows that once a person resorts to murder to hide a secret, chances are good that they may choose to kill again. Can she find the murderer before the killer paints the town red?\"Portrait of a Gossip\" is the first book in the Miss Henry Mystery Series.If you are a fan of Ngaio Marsh or Agatha Christie you are going to love Juliet Henry and the residents of Bartholomew's Woods.Praise for the Author\"A wickedly sexy tale \"--Christine Feehan, New York Times Bestselling Author (on The Selkie)\"... delivers sizzling romance and ghoulish thrills at a breathtaking clip.\"--Publishers Weekly (on Traveler)\"Readers of Laurel K.
