by Katherine Hall Page Business has been slow for Faith Fairchild's catering business, so she is contemplating expanding to "take out" food. When her friend, Patsy Avery, president of the board of trustees of the Ganley Museum, asks her to discover whether the Romare Bearden painting she and her husband had loaned to the museum had been stolen and replaced with a fake, Faith is only too happy to agree. She is to take over the Ganley's café, which will give her a perfect opportunity to snoop around and also give her a chance to try out her "take out" idea. An unidentified body is found near the painting, and Faith must dig into the lives of the Ganley trustees to find the connection between the murder and the theft of some of Ganley's exhibits. Meanwhile their son, Ben, is being bullied at school via cyberspace. Her husband, Tom, wants her to retire from the catering business and her amateur sleuthing. As always a Faith Fairchild novel gives the reader a mouth watering glimpse of the catering business. The background of the art scene and the people involved is explored in depth. The problems of cyberbullying is a new one and is thought-provoking. The relationships of Faith with her family, friends and coworkers are well-developed. The plot is well-constructed and intriguing. The action is fast-moving. As a bonus as with all Fairchild novels, there are a few tempting recipes. Try the chicken stroganoff or the Red Velvet cake. You won't be sorry. In fact have a slice of the cake while enjoying the latest in this series. |
