**I received a complementary copy via Netgalley for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

If you- like me- are a fan of the movies from Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, chances are you are going to love this cozy mystery just as much as I did! Like the many movies that we have come to love and expect from the network, this book from Hallmark Publishing is the perfect blend of mystery and yes a little bit of romance too. As a Hallmark read, you can rest assured that you won't find any foul language or inappropriate content. Likewise, despite the rather heavy topic of murder, it still manages to not lean too dark or scary. Personally, I tend to prefer this type of mystery over those darker toned ones in the genre.

I loved this story of art forgeries and the lengths that someone might go to keep such thing a secret, but what I really loved was the way the author introduced to a variety of characters that had the motive...and the suspicious behaviors too. Though you'd start to feel like perhaps you had it figured out already, there was always that little hint of doubt being cast elsewhere that had me wanting to turn the page to figure it all out. I couldn't put it down.

While there is a little bit of romance throughout the story, I would say it wasn't the main focus, so for those who enjoy a clean mystery without the romance, this one could still be quite enjoyable.

I loved this book, and cannot wait to see more from the author in the future.

Out of the Picture is perfect for fans of the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel! This story was more about the mystery than the romance. I loved all three of the Shepard sisters and would love to read more stories on them. I felt like I was part of their family. The suspense in this novel kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn't want to stop reading, even late into the night. I highly recommend this book for mystery novel fans!

Caroline Carson is a pillar of the community, and about to turn 90. Savanna recently returned home from living in Chicago, and is commissioned by Caroline, the grandmother-of-her-heart, to do a mural on her parlor wall. When strange and disturbing things begin to happen in Caroline's home, Savanna goes into full protect mode, enlisting her sisters, parents, Caroline's handsome widower doctor, and local police detective to figure out what's going on. This mystery was different from the romances I'm used to reading from Hallmark, but it was an excellent read. It kept me guessing until the end!

Out of the Picture is a great cozy mystery with interesting and well developed characters. The storyline is entertaining. I would read more by this author.

Savannah has come back home after a nasty breakup with her fiance in Chicago. Small town, using her art degree by teaching and painting murals, she is on hand to notice some problems with some of the paintings at her adopted grandmother's house. There are three sisters, so hope to see more books in this series. A nice cozy mystery, that was quick and fun to read. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this book. I really liked all the details especially about the forgeries and the personalities of the characters. It felt like I really knew them. #OutOfThePicture #NetGalley

I'm so glad that I requested this book. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, since I'm not familiar with the author, however, it was absolutely fantastic.
The story pulled me in from the beginning and I was glued to the pages until the very last sentence.
Sydney, Skylar and Savannah are sisters, who unite together to find out who is targeting their beloved close friend.
Once the sisters put their mind to something, there is no stopping them.
This story is well written, full of twists and turns and the characters are all very likable and easy to relate to.
I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.

This is a delightful cozy mystery featuring Savanna and her sisters Skylar and Sydney as they try to determine if someone is trying to do harm to their adopted grandmother Caroline. Savanna has returned to her Michigan home town where she is the art teacher at the local elementary school. Her adopted grandmother Caroline has asked her to paint a mural on a wall in her home, and when Savanna goes there to talk about it she finds Caroline's friend there as well. The three women are served wine by Lauren, Caroline's granddaughter, and the wine turns out to have been spiked with a drug, which leads to the friends death, as she was the only one who drank the wine. When Caroline is late injured in her home by a poorly installed stair railing, Savanna and her sisters fear someone is out to kill her and, with the help of good looking Dr. Aidan Gallagher, they try to figure out who and why. This is a fast paced mystery with interesting, relatable characters and just the right amount of romance for Savanna. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Much like the Hallmark Movies, fun, clean, and enough action, suspense, and romance to keep it interesting and keep the reader guessing. Well Done.

What's not to love about this story!! It has action, suspense, mystery, romance and a wonderful recipe at the end. This book will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. Best of all it's a Hallmark book so you know it's going to a good clean read. Thank you Hallmark Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
