About the book
Join accidental sleuth, Nick Morris, in his second mystery in The Art of Murder series.
When presented with the opportunity to paint a beautiful Georgian house in the Peak District, Nick Morris eagerly accepts the commission. Businessman Derek Swann is selling his property and wants a landscape painting to remember it by. However, Nick's plans for a peaceful stay in the countryside are disrupted when he and his chalet neighbor Megan Lamplighter discover a body in the surrounding woods of the holiday park.
Rick Parrow appeared to be troubled before his death, with a dark cloud hanging over him in the days leading up to the tragedy. As it is revealed that he was murdered, Nick feels compelled to uncover the truth. What was troubling Rick before his demise? What was his connection to the mysterious Jez Cooper, a bear-like figure staying in a chalet near Nick's? And who had a motive to kill the young man?
Nick finds himself pulled in multiple directions - from his painting job at the manor house, where he is drawn to the alluring housekeeper Adela, to the questionable characters now hovering around the holiday park and monitoring his every move. Nick needs to act quickly if he wants to emerge from this situation unscathed!
