Die in Plain Sight

Elizabeth Lowell writes random, kind of related series books. By kind of related, I mean they all work for the same company or they are all related or something.

This one is Rarities, Inc.

Ian Lapstrake is guarding Susa Donovan, a famous artist, who is doing a showing in Moreno Valley, California (California!!). When Lacey (our heroine) brings some painting for Susa to look at...well, she finds out not all is well in Moreno Valley.

Between the Savoy Curse that kills the rich of the County to the weird painting and awesome fires, Lapstrake and Lacey just can't help falling in love.

Yeah, it's one of those. But the mystery is really good! I mean, really good!
