Charlie and I went to Ollies the other day and I needed a new book to read. While there I went to look through there books because I hadn’t been able to get to Walmart or Half-Price Books in a while. Why there I found a mystery book called Out of the Picture: A Shepherd Sisters Mystery A Shepard Sisters Mystery written by Tracy Gardener.
This is the first book of Tracy Gardner’s I’ve had the opportunity to read but you can bet your bottom dollar it will not be the last book of hers I read. I wish you could see the house on the cover of the book which I would love to have. The look at that pretty gold picture frame bordering the title of the book. Here is a fun tip for you this novel is part of Hallmark Publishing and I wish they would turn the story into a Hallmark Muder Mystery.
The story is about Savanna Shephard a good old-fashioned Southern name that I liked a lot. What about you? Savana was a former art authenticator which is some who can tell a forgery from the real thing. Doesn’t that sound interesting? During a break-up Savanna moves back home. Which I’m sure a lot of us have wanted to do at one time or another.
Bringing Savana close to her sisters and she becomes a grade-school art teacher. Then she is hired to paint a mural in a friends home. Then strange things began to happen and no, I’m not going to tell you what because you need to check out the novel for yourself. But just know the Doctor and her sisters help her.
if you don’t know what to make for dinner this evening then you should check out there recipe for Holy Yum Chicken which is included in the book.
