Tracking a Painting Stolen by a Dead Man
When famed silent film cowboy William S. Hart hires Nate Ross, he is looking for a portrait that was recently stolen from his home. He even knows who stole it. The catch? The thief was killed in a suspicious accident that has deeply divided the community of cowboy actors. Can Nate navigate the controversy and find the painting?

Since I live in the town that William S. Hart called home, I got a kick out of seeing a couple places I know well show in this historical mystery. The plot and pacing were great, and I had a hard time putting down this PI novel. Speaking of being a PI novel, there is a little more content than I might normally read, but it was a small amount. The characters are good overall. A few could be stronger, but fans will be happy to spend more time with everyone. If you haven’t started this fun series yet, fix that today.

AN IMPERFECT TRUTH is a standalone story that follows Lexie as she leaves the 'big city' to a small town in the hope of becoming more comfortable with herself and the choices she makes. Once there, she meets Chaz, the owner of the cottage she's renting and someone who gets her heart pumping from their very first meeting.

The question of whether or not Lexie and Chaz will get together is never in doubt. The issue runs deeper than that, with Lexie not being completely honest with Chaz, for reasons and timing that were completely understandable. Also, Chaz does have a bit of a blind spot where certain names and companies are involved.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable story, with plenty of character growth. The world-building was clear and the pacing was smooth. Definitely recommended.
