'Somebody stole my painting! The one I need for the career-defining Vertex Art Exhibit. This upcoming art show is my chance to finally be recognized as an artist--after ten years of waitressing and being asked if I still have that "lovely painting hobby."
I have mere weeks to find my painting or lose my artist dream forever--but it's going to mean working with William.
William Haruki Matsumura. Good-looking, if you like the Secret Service type. You know, law-abiding, protector of women and children. That's all fine, but I never know what he's thinking. Which drives me crazy.
He insists on coming along to do "damage control." As if "accidentally" wandering into certain areas is "breaking and entering." I may be an emotional artist, but William shouldn't dismiss my investigative skills yet.
William is definitely my opposite, and if there's one takeaway from my parents' divorce, it's that opposites might attract, but it doesn't last. But detecting with William is kind of fun--and fluttery. I definitely can't trust these feelings, or can I? However this caper ends, I think this may be more than a crush.'
This is the story Miranda and William, which is told over the course of 41 Chapters. This is the third standalone book in the 'New York Friendship' series. A series this reader has enjoyed so far.
The main theme of this book is mystery, as you can tell from the blurb a painting has been stolen. Although this is a mystery, it is also a romantic comedy. The book is full of giggle worthy moments that readers will adore.
From the moment I started this sweet book, it was easy for this reader to know that I wasn't putting it down anytime soon. The book draws the reader in and makes them want to read it. This book is very easy for readers to get stuck into.
Now let me tell you a bit about the Author Kathy Strobos, who lives in New York City with her husband and two children. Kathy has a growing collection of books, toys and dollhouses. She grew up in New York City and graduated from Stuyvesant High School and Harvard-Radcliffe University magna cum laude. Previously she has worked as a lawyer. However she left law to pursue her dream of writing fiction full-time and getting in shape. She is the author of Partner Pursuit, Is This for Real?, A Scavenger Hunt and Caper Crush. She is still working on getting in shape
Overall I have loved this series and this book is no exception. This is a romantic comedy in the truest sense of the phrase that readers will adore. You can get your copy HERE.
Until Next Time
