May's Books






Checked Out: a dead-end job mystery by Elaine Viets

Helen Hawthorne, a private investigator who works with her husband, goes undercover at a library to search for a valuable painting that was donated to the library. “Muddy Alligators,” a watercolor painting by John Singer Sargent, was tucked inside a book that was among hundreds that was part of the estate of a wealthy local resident. Part of the interest in the painting is that it was believed to have been owned by Clark Gable, who then lost it to the father of local socialite Elizabeth Cateman Kingsley. Helen also investigates the rumors of a ghost haunting the library. The author is the winner of the Anthony and Agatha Awards for mysteries.
