Avant-Garde Art Turns Deadly in Farberville
Since his recent arrival, avant-garde artist Zeno Gorgias has been turning heads and attracting gawkers in the otherwise tame college town of Farberville, Arkansas. Zeno's "interactive" art—featuring an undressed woman lounging beside a coffin on his front yard—is neither welcome by the community nor punishable by law. But as local bookseller and amateur sleuth Claire Malloy is about to find out, sometimes there's a dark side to one's freedom of artistic expression...
Strange things keep happening to Zeno and his oeuvre. First, his estranged wife comes to town, demanding he be committed to a mental institution. Then Zeno's house mysteriously goes up in flames. And if that's not enough, a dead body is found inside of the infamous coffin. Now that Zeno has been arrested for murder, it's up to Claire to figure out what on earth is going on in her cozy small town...while the real killer remains on the loose.
In this humorous and suspenseful addition to the Claire Malloy Mystery series, Joan Hess once again masterfully blends small-town charm with thrilling twists that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Join Claire as she navigates the eccentric world of avant-garde art and uncovers the sinister secrets lurking beneath the surface of her quirky community in Busy Bodies.
