About this book:
“When
Mary and Betty inherit their great uncle's house, they find some charming
paintings hidden in the attic. The New England scenes are bright, colorful, and
full of life. Mary is thrilled to discover the paintings were done by their
great aunt Maude, who died young. But a desperate note taped to the back of one
of the paintings suggests there is more to Aunt Maude than Mary and Betty knew.
What happened to her? How did she really die?
Investigating events from over fifty
years ago stretches Mary's sleuthing skills to the limit. Then she discovers
the key to Aunt Maude's past is in the paintings she left behind. As Mary puts
the pieces together, she learns that a picture is worth a thousand words.”

My
personal Rating- 
I personally didn’t enjoy this
one as much as the others in the series. It was a more messy, serious toned mystery
with thinking a husband possibly killed his wife and a wife having an affair
and leaving her husband. It wasn’t the light, easy to read mystery I was
expecting from this series.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
