The Watercolor Mysteries

Jane Roland and her painter friends are enrolled in a watercolor retreat at the picturesque Gardens and Horses Resort. They're looking forward to a week of sun-drenched landscapes, sleek racehorses, art instruction, and—best of all—laughter and conversation. Out for their first stroll, the women discover a dead thoroughbred in the pretty reflecting pool. Next evening, they find the handsome young stable man in the horse watering trough. Surely, there's a link between them?

Jane Roland and her painter friends are looking forward to a busy, fun-filled holiday season at the town's art center—watercolor exhibits, concerts, and a festive gala. But, when the screams of a child pierce the gaiety at the Halloween reception, Jane discovers a skeleton in the art closet. There's a dark history lurking below the center's charming exterior, and the deeper Jane digs into the secrets of the past, the more she realizes that art can be a deadly obsession.
