Behind the France Book 2 of 3: Shepherd Sisters by Tracy Gardener

The Mommies Reviews

I wanted to share a new book I found at Ollies called Behind the France Book 2 of 3: Shepherd Sisters Mysteries from Tracy Gardner. I purchased Behind the France for myself. The book is from Hallmark Publishing. As a avid movie watcher of Hallmark Movies I couldn’t wait to see what type of books they publish.

I wanted to see if this book had been turned into a movie. In the meantime I also would like to share another book from Tracy Gardener Out of the Picture: A Shepherd Sisters Mystery that I just finished reading.

When art in the park

leads to murder in the dark,

the Shepherd sisters

have another crime to solve.


Savanna Shepherd, an art expert turned elementary art teacher, is planning the Art in the Park festival for her hometown of Carson. But apparently, someone isn’t happy that Carson got to host the event: the beloved statue in the park is destroyed. Not long after, Savanna finds the dead body of one of the people on the planning committee.

Savanna and her sisters are convinced that the arrested murder suspect didn’t do it, despite strong evidence to the contrary. With the help of Dr. Aidan Gallager, Savanna’s new romantic interest, they uncover hidden resentments and intrigue. Several people in Carson had a motive for the murder. Can they find out which one of them is behind the framing of an innocent person?

This intriguing mystery includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Mini Rhubarb Pie
