An Unfinished Canvas: A True Story of Love, Family, and Murder in Nashville
This true crime saga reveals the case of a missing Nashville woman, a husband on the run, and a rare cold case murder conviction.



Janet March had it all: a corporate lawyer husband, two beautiful children, a promising career as an artist, and a dream house she designed herself. But behind closed doors, her husband led a destructive double life. On August 16, 1996, Janet had an appointment to finally file for divorce. But she never arrived. On the night of August 15, she vanished.



Janet's disappearance incited a massive search and media frenzy that revealed her husband Perry's seedy dealings. When he absconded with his children to a new life in Mexico, Janet's parents began a decade-long, international custody battle that culminated in Perry's dramatic extradition to Tennessee.



Meanwhile, the Nashville Police Department never found Janet's body. In spite of overwhelming odds, cold case detectives and prosecutors were determined to get justice-and with the help of a shocking surprise witness, they did.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

An Unfinished Canvas

Michael Glasgow and Phyllis Gobbell have created a tense saga that fully paints the amazing series of events that make up the Janet March murder case...An Unfinished Canvas paints a broad swath of facts—from news reports, court documentation and interviews—and lets the reader decide whether justice was done...The authors' enticing storytelling pattern results in a comprehensive guide to the legal wrangling that eventually brought Perry down.
The Tennessean

Tortuous tale...Michael Glasgow and Phyllis Gobbell paint a portrait of a man who, if not for his arrogance, could have gotten away with murder.
Nashville Scene

Praise for Phyllis Gobbell and Pursuit in Provence

Gobbell brings the Provence backdrop to vivid life while dropping enough clues to keep readers focused on the mystery involved.
Booklist starred review

Seasoned with humor and evocative descriptions of magnificent historic sites, this whodunit should appeal to fans of both cozies and traditional mysteries.
Publishers Weekly

Gobbell's debut, first in a planned series, combines mystery, informative travelogue and enjoyable characters.
Kirkus Review

A twisty tale of treachery. Phyllis Gobbell's debut suspense novel is distinguished by authentic characters and a glorious evocation of Provence.
—Carolyn Hart, recipient of Mystery Writers of America's Grand Master Award

A delight! With Jordan Mayfair, Phyllis has given us a protagonist who will resonate with every woman who's ever lived with love, loss, and struggle, and managed to triumph over it all. Add in an exquisitely intricate plot, a quirky and appealing supporting cast, and all the flavor of the French countryside, and you've got a winner! So uncork a nice Semillon and enjoy this one.
—Steven Womack, Edgar and Shamus award winner

Praise for Phyllis Gobbell and Treachery in Tuscany

There are plot twists and intrigue, family secrets and rivalries, a debonair lover, a delicious locale and all the usual accoutrements of the satisfying travel cozy, but Phyllis Gobbell gives the proceedings her own particular spin.
—Kate Falvey, Ph.D., Editor in Chief, 2 Bridges Review

Praise for Phyllis Gobbell and Secrets and Shamrocks

A visit to the verdant Irish countryside is marred by murder. The second in Gobbell's travel series is filled with delightful descriptions of Ireland and offbeat characters.
Kirkus Review

Gobbell's enjoyable sequel to 2015's Pursuit in Provence takes Savannah, Ga., architect Jordan Mayfair and her travel writer uncle, Alex Carlyle, to Ireland. Jordan's keen knowledge of architecture and history comes in handy in her efforts to uncover the truth. Fans of travel cozies will find plenty to like.
