With its colorful characters, charming Southern setting, and well-plotted mystery, the Paint & Shine series is the perfect blend of all things cozy.”
—Ellery Adams, NYT and USA Today best-selling author
"Using a palette of clever plot twists and intriguing characters, Cheryl Hollon creates a richly drawn world that's both bucolic and dangerous in Still Knife Painting. Readers will take a shine to this addictive new series!"
—Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron
“Many of the elements of Still Knife Painting are familiar cozy tropes—there’s an attractive park ranger, suspicious locals and an entrepreneuer’s money worries—but in Hollon’s capable hands they all seem fresh. Part of the reason is the originality of Miranda’s business, but it’s her artistic nature that really shines…This book is well paced, anchored by an excellent central character, and infused with a keen sense of place. Veteran scribe Hollon makes it all look easy. Rocking in Miranda’s chair on the porch, sitting under a quilt and taking in the view sounds like a plan to me. Pass that moonshine.”

Overview
Miranda Trent has set up a sweet life in a scenic corner of Appalachia—until she stumbles across the trail of a killer . . .
After inheriting her uncle’s Red River Gorge homestead in Eastern Kentucky—smack dab in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest—Miranda comes up with a perfect business plan for summer tourists: pairing outdoor painting classes with sips of local moonshine, followed by a mouthwatering sampler of the best in southern cooking.
To Miranda’s delight, Paint & Shine is a total success—until someone kills the cook. As the town’s outsider, suspicion naturally falls on Miranda. Murdering the best biscuit baker of Red River Gorge is a high crime in these parts. Miranda will have to prove her innocence before she’s moved from farmhouse to jail cell faster than she can say “white lightning” . . .
“Set against the blazing backdrop of an Appalachian fall, Still Knife Painting serves up a tasty stew of murder and moonshine. In this series debut, Cheryl Hollon weaves a tale as complex and country as the antique braided rug that figures in the story.”
—Barbara Ross, author of the Maine Clambake Mysteries
“Cozy mystery fans will make room on their keeper shelves for Hollon’s charming new series.”
