This was a good start to a new series…

Fatal Brushstrokes is an intriguing start to the Aurora Anderson Mystery Series and a satisfying read in its own right. Freelance computer programmer is a pretty gutsy career choice for a cozy heroine….

“Fatal Brushstrokes” was a fast, easy read with likable characters. The setting was enjoyable and the mystery not too easy to solve…

Fatal Brushstroke by Sybil Johnson is the first in a fun new cozy series from Henery Press. I really liked Aurora. She was well-developed and a great sleuth. The mystery moved along at a quick pace and I liked how it all came together.

Synopsis:

A dead body in her garden and a homicide detective on her doorstep…

Computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Aurora (Rory) Anderson doesn’t envision finding either when she steps outside to investigate the frenzied yipping coming from her own backyard. After all, she lives in Vista Beach, a quiet California beach community where violent crime is rare and murder even rarer.

Suspicion falls on Rory when the body buried in her flowerbed turns out to be someone she knows—her tole painting teacher, Hester Bouquet. Just two weekends before, Rory attended one of Hester’s weekend painting seminars, an unpleasant experience she vowed never to repeat. As evidence piles up against Rory, she embarks on a quest to identify the killer and clear her name. Can Rory unearth the truth before she encounters her own brush with death?
