While chasing a suspect through the gallery 42Space during a previous case, Tiffany allegedly caused damage to some exhibits. After receiving a call from the artists, she arrives with her cousin, Amber to discuss reparations. But the artists have an ulterior motive for calling her in. It seems someone is damaging exhibits and they suspect each other. Rosie is tasked with going undercover as an apprentice to look for clues. However, before the collective can agree to hire them, one of the members is murdered. Tiffany is then hired by mobster, Elle, to solve the case, slowly, so that she can buy the building. Meanwhile, Charles Locandro asks Tiffany and Rosie to show “Aunt” Liz around, having met her while they were in Louisiana. Liz is thrilled to help out as they investigate not only the eccentric artists, but also the fans who think the murder is a performance art piece.

Proving that anything goes, in both the art world and Las Vegas, Tiffany has her hands full with this case. Liz is a great addition to the team, and hopefully will make more appearances in the series. The opening chapter of the book with Amber’s daughter, Angel, is priceless. She is so precocious and it was hilarious thinking how her presentation would go over in her first-grade class. Despite the book referring to previous events and cases, the mystery works fine as a standalone. Whether Tiffany and company are home in Vegas, or traveling for Charles, their adventures are always great fun.

The Case of the Eccentric Enemies

Tiffany stepped into a gallery for artists. Talking to them was hard because Tiffany at an another time ran through the gallery breaking some artist work . At that time she was chasing a killer. The artist didn't want to hire them probably because they were broke. Then one morning everyone came into the great gallery and saw one artist upside down with his foot in a bear trap and a knife in his back . People though it was a great trick but Teffany knew he was killed. A lot happened then after the horrible scene . Liz the Aunt to Charlie Locondro helped Rosie and Tiffany to figure out who killed the artist Liz was from Louisiana with the big alligator. Read in another great book from A. R. Winters I hope the Police find Eugene.

Tiffany and Rosie look into the murder investigation and find a little help from a visitor to the area. This book was a lot of fun and can be read as a standalone.

Eccentric artists.
A piece called swimming pool?
Dumpster diving.
One of the collective artists suspended from the ceiling who was actually murdered.
Hidey holes, weird people, a cranky detective make this read a page Turner.

Rosie and the gang have quite a twisted case involving some wacky avant garde artistes

Garbage heaps, mixed loyalties and betrayals, and too many suspects and mixed motives to count make for complex mysteries and whodunnits.

A fascinating bunch of players.

This case had Tiffany and the team investigating vandalism, dealing with eccentric artists and capturing a murderer.

Tiffany and Rosie investigate what is possibly their weirdest case yet. Set in the art world, they look into sabotage, murder, embezzlement and general weirdness. Old faces from former cases help and hinder them as they investigate. This was really a very enjoyable book.

Another great Tiffany Black mystery. In this book, Tiffany and Rosie are asked to investigate an art gallery. Seems easy enough right? Wrong ! Of course they find another murder. Tiffany and Rosie start questioning artists, patrons and everyone else to solve the murder.
