Still Knife Painting (A Paint & Shine Mystery)
by Cheryl Hollon
Ms. Hollen has a beautiful way of relating the past and wrapping it into a present-day mystery. I enjoyed Still Knife Painting and can’t wait for the next book in the series to see what Miranda is up too.
~Baroness’ Book Trove
Still Knife Painting is an engaging new Southern cozy mystery with rampant rumors, plein air painting, cultural cuisine, a killer knife, a precious puppy, and merry moonshine.
~The Avid Reader
The mystery is good . . . The ending is impressive.
~The Book Decoder
I totally adored the premise of Still Knife Painting and Cheryl Hollon‘s character development was excellent.
~Brianne’s Book Reviews
This is a new series and I found it to be intriguing. Set in Kentucky near the Daniel Boone National Park, I could imagine the hikes they took to Lover’s Leap, the small town with nosy citizens, properties set apart where cell service was sparse, and fascinating relationships between the various characters.
~Storeybook Reviews
It’s an intriguing and different premise for a cozy mystery . . . the author kept me guessing until the end which is always a fun thing.
~Socrates’ Book Reviews…
The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author creates a great setting in Eastern Kentucky and I could picture in my mind’s eye the beauty of the area.

Miranda Trent has set up a sweet life in a scenic corner of Appalachia—until she stumbles across the trail of a killer . . .
After inheriting her uncle’s Red River Gorge homestead in Eastern Kentucky—smack dab in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest—Miranda comes up with a perfect business plan for summer tourists: pairing outdoor painting classes with sips of local moonshine, followed by a mouthwatering sampler of the best in southern cooking.
To Miranda’s delight, Paint & Shine is a total success—until someone kills the cook. As the town’s outsider, suspicion naturally falls on Miranda. Murdering the best biscuit baker of Red River Gorge is a high crime in these parts. Miranda will have to prove her innocence before she’s moved from farmhouse to jail cell faster than she can say “white lightning” . . .
