A high-profile art theft grabs the attention of the famed Mr. and Mrs. LaRue, but this time they have a sidekick...Elodie herself! Can Elodie measure up in the high-profile world of art crime, or will she struggle to see the big picture?

With the Farouk’s desperate for the help of a LaRue, Elodie and Co. take on the case. Can the LaRue Detective Agency foil the forger in time for the magazine shoot?

This is part of a series that I would love to read all of it. Elodie and her detective agency are on the job again. It appears a Jackson Pollock has been stolen. The story moves right along as each suspect is eliminated. This doesn’t thwart Elodie and her detective agency. Lovely illustrations. Highly recommend.

I was blessed with an ARC. Thank you NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own and unbiased.
