A Pair for the Queen

Tish McWhinny reluctantly gets involved in restoring an old painting for a dog show promotion -- harmless enough, but then the painting is stolen and someone is murdered. Is the crime connected to the rather shady new couple now running the local store? What about the retired Royal Navy man, now much interested in art, who unexpectedly turns up? Or niece Sophies secretive new boyfriend? It takes all Tishs ingenuity, as well as the help of her courtly friend Hilary Oats and free-spirit Sophie, to find out whats going on and catch a cold criminal. "Lofton, Vermont, is a place Id like to live -- right next door to Tish McWhinny, if possible. Barbara Comforts Vermont mysteries have the wonderful quality of being both mysterious and friendly. I love that saucy, sassy, septuagenarian Tish McWhinny." -- Barbara DAmato
