Masterpiece and Mayhem - Provincetown Mysteries, #3

Behind every masterpiece lies a secret. And some are deadly. 

It's high season in Provincetown, and The Pink Lady is fully booked—with secrets, scandals, and a splash of murder.

The boas are fluffed. The sass is sharpened. Let the cocktail hour chaos begin.

When a world-famous art dealer arrives in Provincetown with a priceless painting and a mysterious Baroness as his companion, Delilah Brie and Nunya Bizness roll out the velvet-trimmed welcome mat. But whispers spread fast: the painting might be fake; the Baroness might be broke; and blackmail may be in play. Then a shocking death rattles the town—and suddenly nothing feels like coincidence.

The guest list reads like a fever dream of the fabulous and the suspiciously well-connected: the art dealer—who has an opinion about everything; a Baroness whose idea of subtlety is a fluid ivory silk blouse, French-tucked into perfectly tailored trousers; a Daddy–Twink couple from Miami who've packed more drama than luggage; and a straight couple from Minnesota who may or may not have meant to end up here at all.

Add two artists locked in a simmering feud; a spiritual healer who's half earth goddess, half streetwise therapist; and a bartender who pours her cosmos strong, whiskey neat, and opinions even stronger — and you have the ingredients for a tasty mystery.

Whispers spread fast: the painting might be stolen; the Baroness might be a fraud; the feud might run deeper than bad blood.

Then the painting disappears. And someone turns up dead.

Now the whole glorious gang at The Pink Lady is knee-deep in forgeries, flings, and flamboyant misdirection. Eden—newly minted private investigator—throws herself into a case where alibis feel rehearsed and every clue could be part of the performance. Real estate maven Tessa Jorgensen assists with the case and puts her art background to good use. Sky bakes stress-scones by the dozen. Tom grapples with compassion and conflict in equal measure and Robert discovers that some secrets weigh heavier than others.

From moonlit rooftop parties to paint-streaked studios out in the dunes, they'll have to peel back every layer of illusion — because in a town where performance is a way of life, someone just turned art into murder.

Masterpiece & Mayhem is the third installment in the Provincetown Mysteries series—a witty, heartwarming cozy mystery filled with art, intrigue, chosen family, and unforgettable characters.
