Frame And Fortune

Picture Frames and Murder

Ivy Morris' best friend, Bella Landry, finds a body in the unused walk-in freezer in the back of her hair dressing shop. Her policeman boyfriend has cuffed and booked her, so she calls Ivy for help.

Bella's ex has shown up in town wanting help and only making things worse. The town still hasn't forgiven Bella for running him out of town some time ago.

Then there's the thief who is stealing picture frames but leaving the pictures all around town. Could this be related to Bella's problems?

Plus Ivy's dealing with Ben Fallon, her boyfriend, having moved in and turned gourmet cook. She's not sure how she feels about all this. And she has hired someone who previously stole from her store to now work at the store. He seems to be good for the store, but can she trust him?

Ivy, with Ben's help, sets out to help Bella figure out who killed the man found in her freezer and clear Bella. Things start to heat up, but can Ivy discover the killer without being put in deep freeze?

Ivy, Ben, and Bella are so much fun. I always love reading another installment in this series. Ivy's insane family and the various characters in town always make each book so much fun to read. Plus the author does a great job of plotting the mystery that I can never figure out who did it before Ivy does. And the romance between Ivy and Ben and the many mishaps that happen keep me laughing.

I highly recommend this book and series.
