Synopsis

Since she went straight, Annie Kincaid's been applying her genius for fine art forgery to her own faux finishing business in San Francisco. She hasn't seen the inside of a jail cell since she was seventeen, although sometimes it takes all of her arts—fine or otherwise—to keep it that way . . .

Annie knows that art security can be inadequate, but it's crazy to think that an Old Master painting could be hanging unguarded in the local columbarium where she's doing restoration work. Still, when she gets a tip that the chapel's copy of Raphael's exquisite La Fornarina might be the real thing, Annie has to take a look. And when she runs into a certain sexy art thief on the premises, alarm bells go off in her head as well as her heart.

Tired of being an art world pariah, Annie hopes that if she can help return the masterpiece to Italy, she'll finally be redeemed. But when murder enters the picture, Annie realizes that it won't be so easy to put things at the cemetery to rest . . .

Goodreads review by Erin on December 16, 2024

This series was irking me when I was reading it before because she acts like she is constantly on the run from the authorities for something her grandfather made her do when she was a minor. But I remember the mysteries being interesting enough and I didn't have anything else ready to read. In this......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on December 10, 2017

I love this series, and while this book wasn't my favourite, it was still lots of fun to read! Annie's world is one big loony bin of crazy characters, ridiculous situations, and all kinds of nutty fun happenings for a reader. This book had a little less of the really clever and funny snappy repartee o......more
