    About this ebook

    Faith's catering business has been slow with the downturn of the economy, so when her friend Patsy Avery proposes that she take over the café at Aleford's Ganley Art Museum, it seems like a not-to-be-missed opportunity. And Patsy has an ulterior motive—she discovers that the Romare Bearden piece she lent the museum has been switched with a fake and wants Faith to snoop around to find the culprit.

    Life at the museum doesn't stay calm for long and Faith is soon enmeshed in the Ganley's murky past and present as she struggles to make connections among apparently disparate items: the fake Bearden, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers, and a Jane Doe corpse that turns up as an unintended part of an art installation. At home, son Ben, now in the hell known as middle school, becomes involved in a cyberbullying escapade and husband Tom wants his wife to morph into June Cleaver.

    Her investigation takes Faith into Boston's art scene and historic Beacon Hill, as well as into the lives behind the façade of the Ganley's very proper board of trustees. She is at her wit's—and almost dead—end, as the killer strikes again, and again.

      This book is typical of all the earlier books in the "Body in" series as it mixes a growing family's problems with a mystery caterer Faith Fairchild stumbles upon. (How do these women do it?) It's an easy read and many people can sympathize with the problems her family goes through.
    • 4/5
      This book was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Goodreads Giveaways.Busyness is my only excuse for not keeping up with this series for a number of years, how foolish of me! Faith Fairchild is a likeable protagonist who finds herself coming across a body in a different location with each book, and sleuths to solve the who-done-it with a cast of friends. In each one, the reader is exposed to learning whatever research the author has done to make the background of each mystery unique. It is then up to the reader to learn, and to appreciate the work put in to the story and the research. This one gives us insight into the art world, and is well-written, never boring, occasioning groans at times, but never blatant silliness. A nice cozy read.

      Synopsis: The setting for this murder is in an art gallery. Her friend, Patsy, believes that the collage she donated has been stolen and a copy substituted. Faith is asked to take over the museum snack bar and do some snooping. The usual characters make appearances and Faith gets swept into another dangerous situation. Family issues that arise from raising a teenager are added to keep the narrative moving.Review: With a bit more complexity than some of her tales, Ms. Page keeps the reader entertained.
    • 2/5
      The writing style of this author made this book entirely too difficult to get into. As such, I was not interested in this story. It might be an ok read for a plane or long car ride.
    • 2/5
      I just couldn't enjoy this book because I just kept thinking about how selfish she was with her husband and about how she needed to be paying attention to her kids.
    • 3/5
      This is the latest Faith Fairchild murder mystery, complete with recipes. The mystery is intriguing, as well as a side story about Faith's son Ben being involved in cyberbullying. A body is found immersed in an art gallery work of modern art, and Faith becomes involved in trying to solve the mystery of who she is and why she was murderered, much to the chagrin of her minister husband Tom.

      I always enjoy this series- a reasonabe mystery to solve, complex characters, and the comfort of yummy recipes and good sounding meals from have Faith catering.
