Charlie and I went to Ollies the other day to look around. While there I decided needed a new book to read. I went to look through there book aisle because I hadn’t been able to get to Walmart or Half-Price Books in a while. I found a mystery book called Out of the Picture. This new book is part of a series called A Shepherd Sisters Mystery these books are written by Tracy Gardener.
Out of the Picture is the first book in the Shepard Sisters Mystery books and the first book written by Tracy Gardner’s I’ve had the opportunity to read . You can bet your bottom dollar this will not be the last book of Tracy Gardener’s I read.
I wish you could see the house on the cover of the house which looks like a old timey house a Ghost would live in. Ghost or no, Ghost I would like to have this house. There is even a balcony and a side porch.
Then look at that pretty gold picture frame bordering the title of the book Out of the Picture. I would like to share a fun tip with you Out of the Picture is part of Hallmark Publishing. I wish they would turn The Shepard Sisters Mysteries into a movie playing on Hallmark Muder Mystery Channel. Which we could watch together if you like mysteries like I do.
Out of the Picture is the story of Savanna Shephard isn’t her name the cutest and it reminds me of a good old-fashioned Southern name 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 like a interesting career choice for someone who enjoys Art? During a break-up Savanna moves back home. I don’t know about you but I’ve had to move back home a time or two. Have you had a bad break-up and had to move home? If so share the story with us.
Moving back home brings Savana closer to her sisters. While there Savana becomes a grade-school art teacher. Then Savana is hired to paint a mural in a friends home. Strange things began to happen and no, I’m not going to tell you what. 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. If Charlie was still #Homeschooling full time we would make the recipe in his Cooking Class. Since he isn’t I’m going to make this dish the next time I watch a Murder Mystery on Hallmark. Would you want to join me for dinner?
